Min A/BBC is one of Super Mario Odyssey's Low% categories. In this category, the player must try to beat the game while both pressing A/B as little as possible, and throwing Cappy as little as possible. It should be noted that the cap throw count listed in Archivist Toadette's counters may not be accurate. So far, only Any% has been routed, but an All Unique Moons route is in progress.

In A/BBC, A/B press saves take priority over cap throw saves, although both are kept as low as possible. In other words, we would add an extra 100 cap throws to save 1 A/B press, but we would not press A/B another 100 times to save 1 cap throw. The most common notation for press counts is as follows: __xA/B __xC, where C represents cap throws. Since the creation of the A/BBC spreadsheet on September 23 2018, the Any% counts have been lowered from 199xA/B 210xC down to 195xA/B 237xC, as of Feb 2 2020.

Routes

Although an Any% route has been put together by the Low% community, nobody has successfully completed a run. Community members such as EverythingABC, tetraxile and Icay have put together videos showcasing how certain moons are gotten, or how certain kingdoms are beaten.

In the ongoing All Unique Moons route, only 879 moons are gotten out of the total 880. "Fly, Cappy, Fly" was omitted from the count, as it requires throwing Cappy 5,000 times, and it is not yet known whether the total count for the route will exceed or even come near this number.
