Due to the intended way requiring use of a cannon (and thus the A button), this strat requires a Goomba Bridge. This involves repeated cloning, hat-in-hand glitches, and HOLP setting. While not terribly difficult, this can get rather tedious. This method uses 6 Goomba clones and 1 transport clone. Once the Goombas are set up, Mario can get onto a shell and ride to the summit. After gaining speed and heading in the same direction as the Goomba Bridge, Mario, while riding the shell, will bounce off the last Goomba and make it to the island. While on the island, Mario can break the box but not obtain the star with a DR. To actually grab the star in 0 A presses, Mario must use the Goomba that was placed on the island earlier by transport cloning and perform a precise DR off of it.
The star is too high to collect with a dive recover, so using a transport clone is required. Some important things to note about cloning are: Mario needs to be higher than the Bob-Omb to not get knocked back, grabbing the Bob-Omb and pause buffering until Mario drops it makes grabbing it fake much easier, hat in hand should be used when releasing clones and should then be deactivated by teleporting for setting the HOLP, and any Goombas killed or coins collected are required for the cloning setup. Be careful to not get hit while trying to transport clone, and remember which Goomba needs to be pushed. From here there are two ways of getting to the island. The first way is to slidekick on the shell with the right speed, timing, and angle. This can be made easier by placing a Goomba clone to bounce on for extra distance. The other way is to construct a Goomba bridge across ([[RTABC Guide/Find the 8 Red Coins|see Find the 8 Red Coins]]).
