TTC Roll into the Cage 0xA (without Preset HOLP)

I collect the star Roll into the Cage in TTC using 0 A presses and without using a preset HOLP. This is TAS. This star was already 0x (   • SM64 - Roll into the Cage - 0x A Presses  ), but the strat relied on a preset HOLP. Now, I show that we can do it with the same amount of A presses but without relying on a preset HOLP. The reason that this matters goes as follows: Entering TTC usually requires an A press. However, reentering TTC after collecting a star can be done 0x for 3 of the 6 stars, namely Stop Time for Red Coins, The Pit and the Pendulums, and Get a Hand. When we reenter TTC like this, we don't have an opportunity to explore the castle between the 2 stars, since dismounting from the top of the clock would cost an A press. And without the ability to explore the castle, we can't go to another course to set up the HOLP. Let's define a "session" as sequentially collecting 1 or more stars in TTC without the ability to explore the castle in between. Consequently, each session only gets one preset HOLP, used on the first star (assuming that star updates the HOLP). All subsequent stars in the session must not rely on a preset HOLP, since we don't have access to the castle immediately before that star. If there were no 0x reentries, then each TTC star would be in its own session, and so each star could have its own preset HOLP. In that case, we'd have 6 sessions of 1 star each. But in actuality, we have 3 0x reentries. Each 0x reentry effectively combines 2 sessions into 1, since it removes the ability to explore the castle in between the 2 stars. So with 3 0x reentries in total, this reduces the number of sessions from 6 to 3. For example, we might do a session of 4 stars, then a session of 1 star, then a session of 1 star. Therefore, we can only afford to use preset HOLPs for up to 3 stars in TTC, namely for the star at the start of each session. Before today, 5 of the 6 stars in TTC used a preset HOLP in their ABC video, which is more than the allowed 3. And so, in order to consider the A press counts we have today as being legitimate, it's necessary to show that some of these 5 stars in TTC don't actually need a preset HOLP. Specifically, today I show that the following 3 stars don't actually require a preset HOLP: Roll into the Cage 0x, The Pit and the Pendulums & Re-Enter 1x, and Timed Jumps on Moving Bars 1x. Thus, only 2 remaining stars still require a preset HOLP, namely Get a Hand & Re-Enter 0.5x and Stomp on the Thwomp 2x, which is below the allowed 3. TL;DR We were using more preset HOLPs than we could afford, and now we aren't.
