Wing Cap
Beginner
To get safely over the wall, be sure to maximise the take-off triple jump by holding forwards + A until entering flight, at which point tap down-right, then steer.
Advanced
Double-jump dive from the box platform (with lenient spacing), speed-kick to maintain speed into take-off triple jump.
Expert
Moving backwards against camera, sideflip into the box, triple jump dive from the box platform (with tight spacing for rollout).
Easy camera
Long jump to box platform. During fade-in, press R asap, and hold down-left. When Mario lands, press C-Down; continue tapping C-Down during idle time to prevent the camera from swivelling. As soon as Mario starts moving, hold down; this setup ensures Mario hits the box. Drifting right during the box sideflip makes the triple jump dive spacing more likely to reach.
Optimal camera
Jump dive to box platform; requires timing the stick input to line up the camera.
