Min a/bbc

Min a/bbc (minimum a/b presses and cap throws) is a low% category in Super Mario Odyssey. It is one of the most unforgiving categories in low% and although there is a theoretical any% route, no one has ever completed an any% run. This is due to the fact that it is easy to 'fail' a run. In many other speedrun categories, people will reset if they are not fast enough; however, in min a/bbc people reset if they have failed a requirement in the run. The minimum amount of a/b presses and cap throws required are 207 and 232 respectively. Meaning that if you accidentally press a/b or cap throw, you fail the run and if you miss a single trick at any single point, you fail the run. This is the reason why min/abbc is regarded as such an unforgiving category

Routes

So far, the community have completed routes for any%, all moons and for each individual moons. All 880 moons have a route mapped out from the odyssey to the moon using the absolute minimum number of a/bbc presses possible.

Spreadsheet

The min a/bbc spreadsheet is one of the most edited spreadsheet in all of Super Mario Odyssey speedrunning. It has similar levels of time put into it than well known sheets like the BTT sheet and the minigames community sob sheet. Practically every advancement in low% ever is included in this spreadsheet here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ir-wzkTpVy_7FXZgyUbLYcvKVgnWjWdBbBN85Az5fiM/edit
