The '''One Button Challenge''', '''OBC''' for short, is a [[challenge]] where the player is only allowed to use one button (e.g. the B Button) on the N64 controller, and you get ''unlimited'' presses of that one button. Because we can only use one button, there are tons of restrictions and disadvantages involved with this challenge. The Joystick does ''not'' count as a button, so it ''can't'' be used. | The '''One Button Challenge''', '''OBC''' for short, is a [[challenge]] where the player is only allowed to use one button (e.g. the B Button) on the N64 controller, and you get ''unlimited'' presses of that one button.

The One Button Challenge is unique in that it aims to only allow ''one'' button, and ''everything else'' is off-limits. While in other challenges, like the [[A Button Challenge]], ''only one button'' is off-limits, (i.e. the A Button) and ''everything else'' is allowed. | The One Button Challenge is unique in that it aims to only allow ''one'' button, and ''everything else'' is off-limits.

While crouching can let Mario backflip, (which we can't do with just the Z Button) and crawl, (which we can't do without using the joystick) we ''can't'' do any of these when restricted to just one button, and therefore the Z Button ''can't'' be used to control Mario in a useful way. | While crouching can let Mario backflip, (which we can't do with just the Z Button) and crawl, (which we can't do without using the joystick) we ''can't'' do any of these when restricted to just one button, and therefore the Z Button ''can't'' be used to control Mario in a useful way. | ||

* [[Shifting Sand Land|SSL]] - ''[[In the Talons of the Big Bird]]'': Since we can't use the tornado because we have to be on the ''first mission'' to get this star which doesn't have the tornado near the pillar, we can have the Fly Guy hit Mario to redirect his angle towards the pillar, then burn Mario to have him get up the pillar. From there, we can have Mario punch off the pillar to twirl onto the pyramid. After punching into the water and redirecting Mario's angle with slopes, we can then use knockback to redirect Mario's angle towards the pillar. After getting redirected a few more times by a Pokey, we can then use the Crazy Box to jump into Klepto, and fall right onto the star afterwards. This star takes just over '''18 minutes''' in total.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLy7W8JncJE</ref> | *[[Shifting Sand Land|SSL]] - ''[[In the Talons of the Big Bird]]'': Since we can't use the tornado because we have to be on the ''first mission'' to get this star which doesn't have the tornado near the pillar, we can have the Fly Guy hit Mario to redirect his angle towards the pillar, then burn Mario to have him get up the pillar.

* [[Shifting Sand Land|SSL]] - ''[[Shining Atop the Pyramid]]'': By using the tornado to get on the pyramid, we can then use the Fly Guy to burn Mario and have him run up the pyramid next to the small cubby with the star. Then, by punching the wall next to the star over and over for '''2 minutes straight''', Mario eventually reaches the star to collect it. This star takes over '''22 minutes''' to collect.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnQPy0SZF24</ref> | *[[Shifting Sand Land|SSL]] - ''[[Shining Atop the Pyramid]]'': By using the tornado to get on the pyramid, we can then use the Fly Guy to burn Mario and have him run up the pyramid next to the small cubby with the star.

* [[Shifting Sand Land|SSL]] - ''[[100 Coin Star|100 Coins]]'': We can collect this star by using the Breaking/Disappearing Cork Box Glitch to collect infinite coins, combined with manipulating RNG by punching or having Mario fall asleep and then wake up (to create sand particles) to reach 100 coins and once again using enemy knockback to redirect Mario's angle. This star takes over '''8 hours''' to collect in total with over '''9,000''' B Presses. It took Pannenkoek2012 over '''3 months''' to create the TAS for it.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9vXR0jy4mI</ref> | *[[Shifting Sand Land|SSL]] - ''[[100 Coin Star|100 Coins]]'': We can collect this star by using the Breaking/Disappearing Cork Box Glitch to collect infinite coins, combined with manipulating RNG by punching or having Mario fall asleep and then wake up (to create sand particles) to reach 100 coins and once again using enemy knockback to redirect Mario's angle.
