I collect the star Pluck the Piranha Flower in Tiny Huge Island using 0 A presses. This video is TAS.

This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I entered this course from the huge entrance. You can find that video here:    • SM64 - Pluck the Piranha Flower - 0x ...  . Since then, Tyler theorized a way to get off of the beginning platform of the tiny entrance to a more useful platform. Specifically, Tyler figured out how to cross the gap from the starting platform to the fire spitter platform, and then cross the gap from the fire spitter platform to the piranha plant platform. I then executed Tyler's plan.

For the first gap, I activate one of the butterfly bombs, the explosion of which pushes the tiny goomba into the water. Then I immediately bounce on the goomba to get to the fire spitter island.

For the second gap, I strategically manipulate the RNG to have a tiny goomba from above walk off of the cliff. Specifically, I lure him next to the cliff, and then have him randomly jump, causing him to go over the edge. As this is happening, I have Mario perform a dive recover, using the falling goomba to bounce across the gap.

Note that completing this mission starting from the tiny entrance rather than the huge entrance implicitly saves an A press, because it takes 1 A press to enter the huge painting but 0 A presses to enter the tiny painting.
