There are 100 main story missions in GTA San Andreas in total. You can find them all listed on this page.
Out of these, 14 missions are optional (not required for story progression), so the mandatory missions required to progress the GTA San Andreas storyline are 86.
However, all missions are required if you want to achieve 100% completion of the game.
Note: If you also count the Introduction and the 4 Catalina cutscenes that set up her robbery missions, the total mission count would become 105.

The PS2 version of the game doesn't change my "Missions Passed" stat to ONE until I complete "Sweet and Kendl". But this guide considers that mission 2?? Can I trust this guide to get me to 100% completion on a PS2? Would prefer to use a guide that is made to match how the PS2 version adds up your completion percentage. Otherwise I'll never really know what I have got left to do to get to 100% completion right?

@flexmcmurphyThe first "mission", "Big Smoke", is really just a cutscene. It has text the "Big Smoke" in-game when you start it that makes it appear like a mission, so that's why we decided to give it a separate entry in this guide. You can trust this guide to contain all the missions, all these 100 story missions are required for 100%.

After re-playing this game for like 4 times already, i can say that the most fail-able missions are not that involve shootouts or planes they are all relatively easy, it's the ones where the game has this specific requirements like finishing the mission on this and THIS car only, if you roll it over you failed, or when you are not playing with frame limiter on and CJ dies after climbing over fence

The water mission at the docks was so hard cuz for some reason my character won't swim underwater, he'll dive but swim back up when you try to swim. Also all the races/vehicle chases were super hard.
