Rainbow Ride requires a precise sideflip from the bottom step to barely ledge grab onto the alcove containing the stage entrance. Since collecting a star from this stage spits Mario back up next to the stage entrance and not down on the floor below, the A press is only required once. | Rainbow Ride requires a precise sideflip from the bottom step to barely ledge grab onto the alcove containing the stage entrance.

The original strategy for this stage entry was only possible on Virtual Console. It used [[Hyperspeed Walking]] in [[Hazy Maze Cave]] to gain enough speed, then pause-exit and use [[Parallel Universes]] to navigate to the upper part of the lobby and reach the entrance to the stage. | |||
The original strategy to enter SA on any platform was to go to [[Shifting Sand Land]], clone a shell and fire in the corner and lure a fly guy, then use hyperspeed punching to gain speed. The fire and shell clone are used to lower Mario's speed to a manageable amount, then the fly guy is used to refine it even further and pause-exit out. Afterwards, the entry requires extremely precise movement in the castle lobby to navigate to the top floor, then perform text redirection on the door to [[The Princess's Secret Slide]] to redirect Mario's speed to the perfect angle to perform a [[Glitchy Ledge Grab]] on the Secret Aquarium entrance. | |||
Since this strategy requires text redirection on a 1-star door, the entire setup must be completed without collecting a single star. C-up sliding in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] is used to gain speed, then pause exit out and redirect it to skip the 8-star door and access the basement with 0 stars. | |||
Several years later, it was discovered that Mario did not need as much speed as was previously thought to perform the lobby movement, meaning a [[Pedro Spot]] in [[Vanish Cap under the Moat]] could be used instead, lowering the time from approximately 50 minutes to under 10. | |||
