The platform leading to the course is 205 units above the lowest floor<ref>Star Dance Clip Potential: https://youtu.be/A-xTDUAU2-0?t=50s</ref>. The only known way to enter the course without pressing A is by using a [[Star Dance Clip]] using the star awarded by catching MIPS since Mario can grab onto ledges during his star dance animation. This maneuver can only be done twice as MIPS only appears twice throughout the game (when Mario has 15 stars for the first time and 50 stars for the second time), and will not reappear | The platform leading to the course is 205 units above the lowest floor<ref>Star Dance Clip Potential: https://youtu.be/A-xTDUAU2-0?t=50s</ref>.

It should be noted that the MIPS is also required to drain the moat to access [[Vanish Cap Under the Moat]], though only the object (MIPS) is needed and not the star. As long as the star is not collected, MIPS will still respawn normally. | It should be noted that the MIPS is also required to drain the moat to access [[Vanish Cap Under the Moat]], though only the object (MIPS) is needed and not the star.

Mario has to enter the toxic maze for the star. The hardest part is exiting the maze via the doors | Mario has to enter the toxic maze for the star. The hardest part is exiting the maze via the doors on higher platforms, without pressing A to jump. To avoid pressing A, Pannenkoek needs very good RNG to set the swoopers flying at desirable angles and bounce on three of them at the right moment. The reason such strategy can work is that swoopers fly in three different heights: low, middle, and high; this allows Mario to bounce on them in ascending order. Afterwards, Mario can ride the elevator and collect the star. | ||

Multiple techniques are required to get 100 coins in Hazy Maze Cave, as resources are limited. Using good maneuvering, Mario dives onto a high platform to kill a Mr. I and then proceeds to the underwater cavern by clipping through a wall. Mario then collects most of the coins there before returning to the upper part of the course using the elevator and enter the toxic maze. | Multiple techniques are required to get 100 coins in Hazy Maze Cave, as resources are limited.

The major breakthrough (in the first video) is finding a way to ground pound the blue coin switch without A presses. Mario manipulates RNG for the four swoopers to fly in the desired path. Mario then does a first frame landing of a dive recover onto the blue coin and punches towards the edge of the platform. At the right moment, Mario reactivates the stored vertical speed (with [[VSC]]) by punching off the platform, and bounces on two swoopers to ground pound the block. After collecting the blue coins close to the ground (and not the topmost blue coin), Mario then waits for the other two swoopers and a snuffit to line up so that he can leave the maze by bouncing on them, collecting the coins on the exit platform, and then return to the maze to collect the enemy coins. Mario then collects the 100 coin star in maze. | The major breakthrough (in the first video) is finding a way to ground pound the blue coin switch without A presses.

Later in 2015 (in the second video), Pannenkoek finds a way to collect the topmost blue coin by bouncing on the third swooper. The primary obstacle is that there are very few swooper paths that do this since the swooper needs to stay close to Mario when the VSC to ground-pound movement is performed. Additionally, the said swooper must head towards the blue coin when the switch's effect is active. Altogether, it takes a lot of effort to find a swooper path that satisfies all of the above. With 99 coins, Mario uses a Monty Mole and the fourth swooper to simultaneously land on the exit platform and collect the swooper's coin, spawning the 100 coin star. With this strategy, Mario can collect the star at the exit of the toxic maze, instead of having to collect the 100 coin star within the maze with no way out, forcing him to exit the course by dying and then reenter it. | Later in 2015 (in the second video), Pannenkoek finds a way to collect the topmost blue coin by bouncing on the third swooper.
