'''Shoot to the Island in the Sky''' is the third mission of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. To complete it, Mario must hit the item box on the floating island and collect the Power Star inside. This can be accomplished through many means such as using a nearby cannon to reach the island, or simply long-jumping from the mountain summit.

'''Shoot to the Island in the Sky''' is the third mission of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. To complete it, Mario must hit the item box on the floating island and collect the Power Star inside. This can be accomplished through many means such as using a nearby cannon to reach the island, or simply long-jumping from the mountain summit.  
A [[Goomba structure]] may be used, as may a single [[Goomba]] [[clone]] and a [[bloated Bob-omb]], but the fastest known way to reach this star uses [[Shell Hyperspeed]] on the slopes to quickly reach the floating island.
==A Button Challenge==  
==References==
The first method discovered was to use a [[Goomba structure]] to get on the island.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54iInYhelg4” SM64 - Shoot to the Island in the Sky - 0x A Presses (Abridged)” By pannenkoek2012]</ref> It was originally thought that 15 goombas were required, but upon closer examination, it was clear only 7 were needed. Before getting up to the top of the island, a bowling ball is placed below the star box by crouching while holding a clone, releasing it at the HOLP but at Mario’s height. This is use to release a goomba clone below the star box so that Mario can utilize its bounce to reach the star, which is too high for a dive recover to reach.

The first method soon was replaced with faser strategies. One time save involved using a single [[Goomba]] [[clone]] and a [[bloated Bob-omb]] to reach the island.
 
Since then, this star can be done 0x in just over 30 seconds.<ref>[https://youtu.be/nuMlcWkDmMw "(TAS) Shoot to the Island in the Sky 31"20" by fifdspence]</ref> This is done by using shell hyperspeed to build up roughly 450 speed, then climbing the mountain and speeding off the edge and landing directly ontop of the star box.

===TAS Strategy===
The original strategy was to [[Backwards Long Jump|BLJ]] off of the elevator, then travel up the mountain, starting at a steep slope near the bottom. Mario then launches off the side of the mountain and lands on the island.
This was replaced by a new strategy in the [https://youtu.be/xL6VE_5PddM "120 Star TAS (2012)"]. After BLJing on the evelator, mario grabs onto a tree to convert his speed into forewards speed, then double jump dives off of a nearby rock, which lands him onto the island.  
Although not a faster strategy, in late 2015 Tomatobird8 found an interesting strategy which was similar to the double jump strategy, but instead of BLJing off of the elevator, used a [[Cork Box]] and the sloped bridge to build speed.<ref>[https://youtu.be/jLfxqWzvuvw "Super Mario 64 - Shoot to the island in the Sky Strat (slower)" by homerfunky]</ref>
