This star is particularly difficult because while you can break the box without pressing ''A'', the star itself was 1 unit too high for a dive recover to work. It was originally solved when Plush figured out you could hold chuckya as a light object on the bridge. Now, there are 6 different strategies, using chuckya, VSC, a skeeter clone, a fire clone, a teleporter clone, and a heave-ho. Among these, the VSC strategy is the fastest one.

Originally, Pannen was able to do this in a single ''A'' press by bringing chuckya to the loading zone and then cloning the star. The strategy used one ''A'' press to start swimming after grabbing chuckya.

In May of 2014, Pannen figured out that by using the water level raising glitch that had been used before, he was able to raise the water level so much that he could overflow the water level, making the water level alternate from being completely full to completely dry. The water level is stored as a 16-bit signed integer which means the only possible values it can be are between -32,768 to 32,767. If the water level goes over 32,767, it will wrap back around to -32,768 and vice versa.

In October of 2021, it was figured out that you could actually clone the star without having to press ''A'' again to swim with chuckya. By having chuckya come over to the loading zone, it was possible for Mario to grab chuckya and rapidly go through the loading zone to clone the star.
