"Still stands" means is impossible. Is there also a "no thumbstick" challenge? Or a "no controller plugged in" challenge?
New to speedrunning?
Pannenkoek does have a few videos documenting stars that can be beaten with No Joystick Allowed strats (these are old and there are more on the secondary UncommentatedPannen channel but I don't see a playlist compiling them). A full run is definitely not possible, but at least some stars are doable.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

"Still stands" means that there is no known way to achieve it. Not that it's known to be impossible.
Until the discovery of the virtual console glitch for BitFS a few years ago, the A button challenge "still stood" for all cases.
