Stomp on the Thwomp has been known as a difficult star for the A button challenge for a long time, and for this reason it is often excluded from early lists. bobmario511 was the first known person to actually route and perform a TAS for the star, producing 4 over a period of one month. Having gotten the count to 15 presses, bobmario511 was fairly certain the route was maxed, and felt comfortable with the TAS. | Stomp on the Thwomp has been known as a difficult star for the A button challenge for a long time, and for this reason it is often excluded from early lists. bobmario511 was the first known person to actually route and perform a TAS for the star, producing 4 over a period of one month.

Since this point, pannenkoek2012 and the rest of the ABC team have worked to improve this star, and have saved 10 A Presses, just from this point. Stomp on the Thwomp in particular takes a lot of creative routing and problem solving, and combining these in a creative way to actually save an presses. In general, the routing usually focuses on efficient usage the two available bob-ombs, their two coins, the one-time pre-set HOLP, and the 100 coin star for star dance clip. | |||

==Current ABC Routes== | |||
Because of the nature of TTC and how it's nearly a completely different course depending on the clock setting, it's impressive that the current route is x5 for both the random setting and the still setting. There routes will be split up here for investigation. | |||
=== Random Setting === | |||
Getting to the second level of the clock (by the first clock hand) cannot be done going through the main pathway without pressing A. This is avoided by using the spinners, instead. So with this in mind, the current route goes up these spinners every time it needs to go up to the second level. | |||
At the second level, getting onto the area with the cogs is a more difficult task, and requires using a star dance clip using a 100 coin star to get past. This is an issue here, though, as you can only collect 36 coins from the second level down. Luckily, this can be overcome using [[cloning]] and the line of coins along the higher pole. Not so luckily, this means having to navigate the spinners on the random setting while carrying a bob-omb 64 times. This is an incredibly time consuming and monotonous task, and takes roughly 20 minutes per coin.<ref>[https://youtu.be/ozLIz8j-y68 "TTC TASing a Coin Clone on Random Setting" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> For this reason, work is usually done to avoid redoing the cloning, typically by just setting a different HOLP and reusing the old first section of the TAS. | |||
Once all 64 coins have been cloned, another clone must be used to place a fire clone before the ledge leading to the cogs. A single star dance clip is not enough height to reach the ledge, but a fire burn into a star dance clip is. To avoid immediately burning on the fire clone, it is placed carefully using the hand to push Mario out of the way.<ref>[https://youtu.be/upzprhsB9D0 "TTC To Cogs 0x Using 1 Fire Clone" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> | |||
