Nonetheless, methods have been found to complete the challenges, albeit with extreme difficulty even with TAS (tool-assisted superplay) when it comes to strategies and unperformable in real time due to inhuman reactions and precision required. | ||

With the introduction of [[goomba cluster|goomba clusters]] and [[goomba oasis]], the required number of goombas quickly dropped down from exponential to quadratic, leading pannekoek2012 to develop a strategy to collect all secrets. Goomba clusters are created by releasing a group of goombas using the same HOLP but from different angles, allowing multiple goombas to stack at the same location. However, due to overlapping hitboxes of these goomba clones, each goomba only has a thin region where it can be interacted with, so Mario needs to be maneuvered very carefully. The goomba oasis is created by using [[transport cloning]], which occurs when the object is being pushed by an enemy, and releases the clone at the midpoint between its position and the HOLP, but at the HOLP's height, allowing a massive number of goombas occupying the oasis and bridging between the fourth and fifth secrets. | With the introduction of [[goomba cluster|goomba clusters]] and [[goomba oasis]], the required number of goombas quickly dropped down from exponential to quadratic, leading pannekoek2012 to develop a strategy to collect all secrets.

For the fourth and fifth secrets, the secrets are too high to reach, and this is where the goomba structures come into play. The goomba oasis at the center of the stage provides Mario a way to navigate between the fourth and fifth secrets. Mario then constructs a goomba bridge between the top of the mountain and the fifth secret, then bounces on the oasis to reach the fourth secret. Once all secrets are collected, Mario collects the star to complete the mission. | For the fourth and fifth secrets, the secrets are too high to reach, and this is where the goomba structures come into play.

Mario approaches a | Mario approaches a bob-omb to get hurt by its explosion in order to use pause-buffered hitstun to throw a cloned object at the HOLP. The object is a bob-omb exploded by a nearby water bomb and turns into a bowling ball after cloning. For constructing a goomba bridge, the cap cannot be used in the challenge, so Pannenkoek resorts to pause-buffered hitstun to release clones remotely. With a bob-omb explosion clone allowing Mario to stay under hitstun indefinitely, and a goomba clone detonating oncoming bob-ombs that would remove the hurtbox of the explosion clone, Mario can begin mass-cloning goombas. | ||
The initial Goomba Bridge takes 45 goomba clones to complete, and it is only 1 object away from game crash due to having too many objects on the screen. Mario begins climbing the goomba staircase, releasing a premature clone to remove the top coin. The bowling clone created earlier allows Mario to immediately reverse the direction upon hitting the secret, so as to not collect the other coins. | The initial Goomba Bridge takes 45 goomba clones to complete, and it is only 1 object away from a game crash due to having too many objects on the screen.
