Beginner

Right-side wallkick. If you're falling down on the star grab, try this sideflip dive instead.

Intermediate

Left-side (double-jump) wallkick. After entering the mansion, hold slightly left to turn Mario, but don't hold all the way left until you have jump kicked. If you don't do this, you will be too close to the wall when you double jump and won't get enough height from the wallkick.

Advanced

Fast Right-Side Wallkick

Fast Left-Side (Sideflip) Wallkick

Downstairs Strat

An alternative RTA strat that is generally not recommended. To do this more consistently, angle sharply facing the right wall, but strafe left during the jumps to avoid the protruding wall corner.
