This is one of the simplest stars in the game and nearly everyone does the same strat. Just C-Down and C-Left upon entering the stage. Hold directly left, jump kick to land close to the slope, then triple jump over the hill.

The vast majority of runners perform the same movement for this star, regardless of skill level.
*Press C-Down and C-Left upon entering the stage, hold straight left, jump and kick to land next to the slope's edge, then perform a triple-jump dive over the hill.
*Landing closer to the slope before the double jump makes it easier to land on the back of the hill after the triple-jump dive, allowing Mario to gain more speed before sliding off, thus saving more time.
