SM64: Get a Hand + Re-enter 0.5xA (Commentated Explanation)
This is a video in which I provide explanations and visuals to aid comprehension of a route that was used in the A Button Challenge, to remove the requirement for an A press to enter Tick Tock Clock after collecting Get a Hand. I did not come up with or execute the route described in this video; I am only responsible for the commentary and visuals. It should be noted that I do not have much experience of the mechanics of this game, so there is a chance that there are some inaccuracies. Any inaccuracies retroactively noticed will be added to this description page. I apologise if there are any inaccuracies.
This video is possible thanks to the following individuals:
@ds273, who figured out the route and conceptualised and planned the whole thing. I am not responsible for the creation of this route in any form.
@pannenkoek2012, who created the Tool-Assisted Superplay for the route and gave me permission to use the resulting game footage as illustration in this video. This "commentated explanation" format is also heavily inspired by some of pannenkoek2012's previous work.

The following is a list of videos in which footage is used in this video:
• TTC Get a Hand & Re-Enter 0.5xA
• TTC 0xA Re-Entry using Spawning Displaceme...
• The 14 Remaining A Presses
The footage used is of Tool-Assisted Superplays and they are not done in real-time.
Extra notes:
It is unlikely that I will make another video similar to this one. This is because these videos take quite a long time to make, and the payoff is not much. I created this one because I wanted to and I enjoyed doing it, but I do not think I would enjoy doing it again. Furthermore, many mechanics are shared between strategies and it would be redundant to explain them multiple times in different videos. However, there is a chance that I will make other videos related to the A Button Challenge, although they will not be in this format.
Also, credit to DeRockProject and npen for providing proofreading and feedback during the various iterations of this video.
The next video will not be about video games.
