Isn't the VPU and wall snapping stuff new (to his videos, at least)? There were a bunch of stars a few years ago where all the pieces were sitting in videos without anything putting them together but I don't remember those pieces being anywhere

I mean they're not new in the sense that in his end of year video from a couple months back, these were already at 0 a presses, so they haven't removed any since that video. The 120 star run is still at 28 A presses. But you're right that he hasn't officially documented these stars using these methods until now.

I wonder if the end game of all this is Pannen's going to discover an arbitrary code execution glitch and reprogram the game so pressing A is no longer needed at all.

It is at this point that pannen transcends human mortality

Pannenkoek hasn't gotten to this yet since it's fresh off the presses, but another researcher has figured out a strategy to save another A press:

That was ridiculous but this related one was moreso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0emgkIEobI

The idea of using the demo to cheat past an A press is up there in terms of :psyduck: things related to the 0xA challenge I've heard and I'm almost sad this new thing removes that as an option

Yeah the demo vid was an all-timer for me.

However, positioning Mario in the exact lateral position proved to be a very tricky problem. Specifically, I needed to position Mario at position (x,z) = (-8171.970703125, 507.2902832031). At this position, the distance between consecutive floats in the x dimension is 0.0005, and in the z dimension it's 0.00003. To put this into perspective, inputting the minimum forward input for just one frame moves Mario 0.001 units forwards, which is 100 times less precise than the precision we need.
