To complete it, Mario must travel up the level and climb up the moving platforms around the tower to reach the [[Power Star]] located at the top of the tower. The tower will replace King Whomp in every star except the first star. | ||
== A Button Challenge == | |||
The star can be done in 0 A presses. The difficult part was getting onto the first tower platform, which was too high for an easy method. The original method of getting onto the bottom platform was rather complex. | |||
=== Setup === | |||
Mario first enters Bob Omb Battlefield, and constructs a goomba staircase off the side of the mountain in order to set a HOLP at a precise spot. Mario then enters Whomp's Fortress, and collects 99 coins. He then throws a cork box using the hat in hand glitch. The box is released mid air and it lands on the base of the tower. Mario then can spawn a 100 coin star in a specific spot. | |||
=== Getting On === | |||
Mario takes a second cork box onto the top of the level. He then remotely releases it, and stores vertical speed on the elevator as it flips around. The box then pushes mario off, which activates his vertical speed, while at the same time giving Mario horizontal speed. Combined with a star dance clip, this is enough to bring mario to the top of the platform. From here, Mario can climb the tower and collect the star. | |||
=== Faster Strategy === | |||
In late 2019, a faster way was discovered. This involved getting on top of the bullet bill blaster, and dive recovering on top of the bullet bill. | |||
