The goal of the 45 Star extension category is to complete the game as fast as possible while collecting 3 stars from each main stage.
Rather than doing Shoot to the Island in the Sky after Bowser in the Dark World, you can save time by doing Island Hop to get all the stars in Bob-omb Battlefield in one trip instead of two. This also allows Tower of the Wing Cap to be skipped.
