Route variations
SL Whirl
Beginners can consider replacing Snowman's Big Head with the easier but slower Whirl from the Freezing Pond.
= WF King
Beginners can consider replacing Fall onto the Caged Island with Chip off Whomp's Block if you cannot do Owlless, since the Owl will not be there.
Island Hop
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.
- Lakitu Skip
- Bob-omb Battlefield
- Whomp's Fortress
- Jolly Roger Bay
- Cool, Cool Mountain
- Bowser in the Dark World
- Big Boo's Haunt (route converges here)
JRB cannonless
To avoid having to open the cannon in Through the Jet Stream, you can do cannonless instead.
LBLJ
LBLJ (Lobby Backwards Long Jump) into Whomp's Fortress or Jolly Roger Bay can be used to get hard stars like Blast Away the Wall or framewalk out of the way early, and save a small amount of time in castle movement.
Lavaboost
A well executed Hot-Foot-It into the Volcano can save time over Boil the Big Bully
