	As the joystick provides the vital function for Mario to change directions and run, the challenge takes route planning to the extreme. The challenge can only be done on a single star basis and not a full game run due to absurd limitations.

	A related challenge is the [[Low Joystick Magnitude\|Low Joystick Magnitude Challenge]], in which the joystick is allowed but the magnitude of the joystick is to be minimized. The value to be minimized can be either the largest joystick magnitude needed in a run or segment, or the total magnitude value integrated over the whole run.

			==One Button Challenge==
			{{main\|One Button Challenge}}
			The One Button Challenge only allows the player to use one button, while every other button is off-limits. The joystick is also not allowed because it is not a button.

			This challenge is much more difficult than the [[No Buttons Allowed Challenge]] and [[No Joystick Allowed Challenge]] since in both of those, either you could use just the joystick and nothing else, or you could use all the buttons but not the joystick.

			There are only 3 stars that can be collected, all of which being in [[Shifting Sand Land]].
