List of HOLPs required in the ABC challenge 100% run

Top of the Fortress (BoB → WF)

Coordinates (x, y, z): (1205, 4403, -2158)
Corresponding Location (BoB): High in midair, above the slippery white slope between low ground and the mountain.
Corresponding Location (WF): Between the arrow-shaped island and tower platform, high in midair

Purpose: The HOLP allows Mario to throw a cork box to himself, completing the setup for landing on the tower steps leading to the star "Top of the Fortress".
Usage restrictions: WF Course Version 2 (fortress), either Wing Cap or Metal Cap unlocked.

To set the HOLP in Bob-omb Battlefield, Mario releases a Bob-omb in the air by touching a cloned bowling ball high above ground. The backwards momentum and one goomba clone in the air aids Mario in reaching the required location.

In Whomp's Fortress, Mario first spawns the 100 coin star at the edge of the lowest tower step. Next, Mario uses the hat-in-hand glitch to remotely throw a cork box, pushing him towards the 100 coin star while simultaneously dive recover to gain height. The Star Dance Clip activates, moving Mario onto the platform.

Pole-Jumping for Red Coins (WF → DDD)

Coordinates (x, y, z): (4260, 998, -2045)
Corresponding Location (WF): Off the edge of the second arrow-pointing brick platforms (closer to the Thwomp).

Corresponding Location (DDD): In between two moving poles in midair, with caged walls on the sides.

Purpose: The HOLP allows Mario to place a pole clone between two poles, facilitating him at collecting the 2 red coins behind the cages.
Usage restrictions: DDD Course Version 2 (poles), Vanish Cap unlocked.

To set the HOLP in Whomp's Fortress, Mario carries a cork box, walks off the edge, and drops it while falling.

In Dire Dire Docks, Mario uses transition cloning glitch and hat-in-hand glitch to remotely place a pole clone at the HOLP.
