** The easiest and safest movement is to double jump kick near the top of the tree. Kicking while in the air prevents Mario from grabbing the tree. See the "Intermediate" video below as an example.

** For the double jump dive into the first red coin, it's highly recommended you copy the camera inputs. At the start of the stage, c-right followed by Mario Cam + c-down. Make sure the Mario cam + c-down <u>is input before Mario touches the ground</u> to avoid grabbing the tree. Walk a few frames before the kick so that Mario is closer to his peak double jump height when you dive at the coin. See the "Advanced" video below as an example

* '''First red coin''': This coin is a little tough to grab. As a beginner, the easiest movement is to double jump kick near the top of the tree. Kicking while in the air prevents Mario from grabbing the pole until he lands. This makes it easy to strafe in the air and ensure you grab the coin. For the advanced movement (buffer kick → double jump → dive) to grab the coin, delay the buffered kick slightly so that Mario is closer to his peak double-jump height when you dive at the coin. This helps prevent grabbing the tree out of the dive.
