Mario first transported two scuttlebugs to the big gap leading to the left door and entered the red coins room on the right. Next, he transported the scuttlebug in that room close to the door Mario came from for raising. Then, he went back to the big gap and bounced on the two scuttlebugs he set up previously. Once he returns to the starting area, he heads towards the red coins room and begins raising the scuttlebug near the door.

In December 2022, a new optimization was released for this star, saving roughly 55min. This is achieved by raising the scuttle inside the mesh wall in a way that it can drop under Mario on the pole.<ref>[https://youtu.be/JI9lL-ZDtpw | In December 2022, a new optimization was released for this star, saving roughly 55min.

Mario builds up a large amount of negative speed by [[Hyperspeed Water Sliding]] (HSWS) on the slippery slope of the island. In order to accumulate speed, Mario enters the slippery slope and keeps in a standing position by holding C^ and enters the water, and then he gets out of the water with [[Speed Conservation|conserved speed]] by pressing Z to enter the sliding state. This is done repeatedly until Mario obtains negative 496 speed, slow enough to slide on [[Dorrie]] for 3 frames to get a sitting position for punching, but still fast enough to clip through the wall. | Mario builds up a large amount of negative speed by [[Hyperspeed Water Sliding]] (HSWS) on the slippery slope of the island.

A faster strategy is then available once the HSW strategy is discovered, allowing Mario to build up the required speed much faster.

The breakdown of the route is as follows: First, Mario transports a scuttlebug to the corner of the Watch for Rolling Rocks platform. Then, Mario raises the scuttlebug to roughly the height of the platform for Mario to bounce on later. Next, Mario begins accumulating speed with Hyper Speed Walking and navigates to the slippery slope on the island to build up speed faster. The speed-building process takes 2 hours to complete. Once the [[syncing speed]] for accessing PUs is reached, Mario begins his PU movement to navigate the top part of the course, and finally lands on the platform by bouncing on a scuttlebug and ground-pounding at the [[misalignment]]. From there, Mario grabs the star normally. | The breakdown of the route is as follows: First, Mario transports a scuttlebug to the corner of the Watch for Rolling Rocks platform.

Later in 2015 (in the second video), Pannenkoek found a way to collect the topmost blue coin by bouncing on the third swooper. The primary obstacle is that there are very few swooper paths that do this since the swooper needs to stay close to Mario when the VSC to ground-pound movement is performed. Additionally, the said swooper must head towards the blue coin when the switch's effect is active. Altogether, it takes a lot of effort to find a swooper path that satisfies all of the above. With 99 coins, Mario uses a Monty Mole and the fourth swooper to simultaneously land on the exit platform and collect the swooper's coin, spawning the 100 coin star. With this strategy, Mario can collect the star at the exit of the toxic maze, instead of having to collect the 100 coin star within the maze with no way out, forcing him to exit the course by dying and then reenter it. | Later in 2015 (in the second video), Pannenkoek found a way to collect the topmost blue coin by bouncing on the third swooper.
