This strategy uses precise movement to dive recover into a misalignment on King Whomp right after he falls. Because King Whomp still has a yaw velocity for a few frames after he falls, Mario can get displaced off the misalignment, activating vertical speed, allowing him to ground-pound King Whomp without the help of the elevator.
King Whomp can be manipulated so that when he falls for the third time, the misalignment is close to where the star spawns. Therefore, after Mario ground-pounds King Whomp for the third time, he is high enough to collect the star immediately, without cloning.

Before entering the stage, the [[HOLP]] needs to be set at a specific location in [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]. This is done using a penguin.
Upon entering the stage, Mario first collects 99 coins. He then dives from a floating island to the bottom of the course, barely taking large [[Fall Damage|fall damage]]. This allows him to use [[Pause Buffering|pause-buffered hitstun]] to remotely throw a cork box onto the big platform at the top of the course, the cork box then breaks on the bullet bill blaster. Mario climbs to the top using the elevator, spawns a 100 coin star from a cork box's coin and uses it to [[Star Dance Clip]] onto the bullet bill blaster. Mario [[Grinding|dive grinds]] to build up speed and recovers into a misalignment on a tower platform. From here, he climbs up the tower and collects the star.

The star can be collected by going from the top. Using the secret teleporter at the corner of the platform where the Metal Cap is located, Mario can teleport to a higher floor above where the star is located. Mario then drops down to collect the star.

The faster strat uses an [[Eru Drop]] instead of a double turnaround.

All coins are reachable without pressing A, though getting to the floating islands requires using a Whomp enemy as help to get on the ascending elevator. Using a series of diving and dive recovers, with help from the teleporters, Mario is able to get all red coins in the course and collect the star.

This star is done without pressing A by using '''Version 1''' of the course where King Whomp is present (Chip Off Whomp's Block). By manipulating the location and angle of King Whomp, Mario can land on top of Whomp and perform a slide kick onto the caged platform.

With a ledge-grab glitch very well-known in [[RTA|speedrunning]], it is already known that using the cannon to shoot open the wall is completely unnecessary. All Mario has to do is grabbing the ledge where the star is located using a specific angle.
