Note: The beginning to this is the same as the advanced version of this star up until the second pole grab. You can watch that video for more insight on how to get a better starting angle if you're having trouble with the off angle and for lag reductions.

Situational, but very significant backup. Saves 8.5 seconds compared to a normal, late cycle approach.{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/nyRORJQw6sg?si=-ohZfYXgamKr5udl}}

Pole Glitch is a very precise trick where it is important to do dustless movement. You want to maintain Mario's speed the best you can starting from this image.
