	Instead of activating the stairs to get up, Mario grinds on the slope with repeated dives to gradually rise to the top of the stairs. If Mario collected all red coins, he would now collect the star. Afterwards, Mario aims at one of the misalignments of the warp pipe and lands on the pipe with a precise 207 dive recover to avoid the wall hitboxes and snap onto the top of the pipe.

	It should be noted, however, that with speed conservation, it is possible to enter the course with 0 stars by exiting [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] with 227 stored speed, redirect Mario's direction using the second key door text, and clip through the 8-star door. This allows entering Bowser in the Dark World with zero stars. The strategy is vital as part of the plan for entering [[Secret Aquarium]] in 0 A presses.

Throughout the course, there are three difficult sections: ''The Crystal'', named after its vicinity to the nearby structure that is too high to reach with a dive recover, where there is a yellow back-and-forth platform below; ''The Seesaws'', where they must be tilted to very steep angles to reach the red coins; ''The Warp Pipe'', where a misalignment must be utilized to get on top to enter the Bowser fight.

	This section is named after the object that originally facilitated Mario to reach the next structure via [[Vertical Speed Conservation]]. As the Crystal has a strange hitbox, it displaces Mario's position if he gets into a certain spot, allowing him to store 26 vertical speed. Mario then punches towards to structure, duck down to avoid the amps hitting him, and pops onto the structure, saving an otherwise mandatory A press in a full game run.

Mario then punches towards the structure with the yellow moving platform, duck down to avoid the amps hitting him, and pops onto the structure, saving an otherwise mandatory A press in a full game run.

	Later, Tyler Kehne demonstrated that a very precise dive recover to utilize the [[misalignment]] is possible in the course. It was previously thought to be impossible due to the inconvenient angle, but it was eventually worked out on May 5, 2018, with diligent efforts of Iwer Sonsch and bad_boot, while Jongyon worked on the math calculations.

	Tilting the seesaw and ~~use~~ frame-walking to reach the higher platforms is sufficient, yet it can be done even faster by dive-recovering on steep slopes using pause buffer.
