Padless Challenge Information

Padless Challenge Information:
The main concept of this challenge is to collect as many Stars as possible by any means necessary (obviously without using cheats/hacks, etc.). As of today, it's impossible to go through the game from a new file to defeating Bowser in Bowser in the Sky in this challenge because you start the game as Yoshi, who can't reach the castle doors without the D-pad/touch screen. Also, the steep slope near the beginning of BitS can't be passed without using the D-pad/touch screen. Speaking of the game's characters, the character who is used the most in this challenge is Luigi because the twirl that he does after his backflip allows him to face in several different angles, making it possible to move throughout different courses.
