	Mario crosses the elevator using the messed-up axle location as normal. When he passes the arrow platform, he uses [[Pause Buffered Hitstun]] from taking huge [[Fall Damage\|fall damage]] to throw a fire clone at the HOLP, which is on top of a pole. There are two possible poles that can be used for this. The larger of the two requires bouncing on a nearby Goomba. Once done, simple Goomba bounces and messed-up axle location uses allow Mario to reach the pipe, which he enters using a [[Misalignment\|207 DR]].

	In the [[CCC Challenge]], the Grand Star can be collected.		In the [[Coinless Challenge]], the Grand Star can be collected. It can also be collected in the [[CCC Challenge]].

			In the [[Capless/Cannonless Challenge]], both the regular star and Grand Star can be collected.

	Neither the Grand Star nor the regular star can be collected in the [[No Buttons Allowed Challenge]] or [[No Joystick Allowed Challenge]].		Neither the Grand Star nor the regular star can be collected in the [[No Buttons Allowed Challenge]] or [[No Joystick Allowed Challenge]].

			In the [[Pacifist Challenge]], both the regular star and Grand Star can be collected, as [[Bowser]] is an exception to the pacifist rule.

			In the [[B Button Challenge]], the entire course is possible in 3 B presses, to grab Bowser 3 times. B does not need to be pressed to release Bowser, since Mario can just drop him into a mine for the first two hits and get burned while swinging him around to throw him at high speed for the third hit.

			In the [[Z Button Challenge]], the entire course is possible in 0 Z presses.

			In the [[UBER Challenge]], the Grand Star can be collected.

			There are multiple [[unsolved challenge]]s in this course: killing the [[Mystery Goomba]] and collecting its coin, reaching a [[Parallel Universe]] in both areas of the level, and defeating Bowser without swinging him.

	In the [[A Button Challenge]], it takes 0 A presses to beat the level with or without the red coin star. The level can be beaten with or without a preset [[HOLP]], and is faster with that HOLP. However, both known methods of achieving this HOLP are not possible more than once without incurring additional A presses or using more time than they save. The HOLPless method is, notably, required to set the HOLP for [[Timed Jumps on Moving Bars]], which takes 1 A press instead of 2 due to that strategy<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMA-zEznvMo "TTC Timed Jumps on Moving Bars 1x A Presses" by UncommentatedPannen]</ref>.

	The beginning of the level is the hardest part. It contains several subsequent platforms that are too high to get over without an A press and almost nothing to work with. Luckily, when the [[207 DR]] technique was discovered, which utilizes a [[misalignment]] to get extra height, all of the initial platforms except the last became passable. Then, a technique called the [[Chuckya Drop]] was discovered that uses manipulation to get [[Chuckya]] to fall from above<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFjIARsegtA "BitS Beginning - 0x A Presses" by Tyler Kehne]</ref>.

	All Goombas in the game fall into one of two categories: [[Goomba#Singleton\|singleton]] or [[Goomba#Triangle\|triangle]]. Triangle Goombas have an object called a [[Goomba Spawner]] which loads and unloads them as Mario gets close. However, in Bowser in the Sky, there is a set of only two Goombas, which is actually a set of three triangle Goombas of which one instantly unloads. This one is called the Mystery Goomba, and there is no known way to kill him.

The HOLPless method is, notably, required to set the HOLP for [[Timed Jumps on Moving Bars]], which takes 1 A press instead of 2 due to that strategy<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMA-zEznvMo</ref>.		In the [[A Button Challenge]], it takes 0 A presses to beat the level with or without the red coin star. Because this level originally took 10 A presses, it is by far the most improved single star in the ABC. The level can be beaten with or without a preset [[HOLP]], and is faster with that HOLP. However, both known methods of achieving this HOLP are not possible more than once without incurring additional A presses or using more time than they save.

	The beginning of the level is the hardest part. It contains several subsequent platforms that are too high to get over without an A press and almost nothing to work with. Luckily, when the [[207 DR]] technique was discovered, which utilizes a [[misalignment]] to get extra height, all of the initial platforms except the last became passable. Then, a technique called the [[Chuckya Drop]] was discovered that uses manipulation to get [[Chuckya]] to fall from above<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFjIARsegtA</ref>.

	Mario actually carries Chuckya with him for a time save later<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCuIeQDYJVc</ref>, making heavy use of [[Light Chuckya#Via Edge\|Light Chuckya via Edge]] to carry him quickly and with mobility. To cross gaps, [[Butt Bounce\|butt bounces]] and [[Slide Kick\|slide kicks]] followed by getting thrown can be used. To cross the elevator, the messed-up axle location combined with a Chuckya throw and floor clip are used. The next gap can be crossed by throwing heavy Chuckya and being grabbed. By grinding, Chuckya can be brought onto the arrow platform. He can then throw Mario back to the checkered area. Chuckya will squeeze under the wooden obstacles as long as Mario stands on the arrow platform to lower it. With [[Goomba]] bounces and a perfectly-timed Chuckya throw, 13 Goomba clones are made unnecessary, leaving only 21.

	The necessary HOLP is just above the area with the [[Bob-omb]]. Mario first uses the Bob-omb to set the HOLP directly under the needed HOLP. He then clones a [[fire]] from one of the [[fire spitters]], using [[Pause Buffered Hitstun]] (PBH) from an [[explosion]] clone to release it without updating the HOLP, and it releases at Mario's current height, which is at the intended HOLP. Mario then glides through the air using a [[Bob-omb#Bloated\|bloated Bob-omb]], which he immediately releases upon touching the fire clone. He then proceeds to defeat [[Bowser]] by using PBH to throw him, which still causes him to appear in front of Bowser due to a quirk in Bowser's code. Then, no stars upstairs may modify the HOLP. This makes this method of setting the HOLP viable only for the any% run<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acCtVq4QW2Y</ref>.		The necessary HOLP is just above the area with the [[Bob-omb]].

	First, a Bob-omb must be brought up to the top of the big house. This is more difficult than it sounds due to complicated [[handsfree teleport]] techniques and branches off the strat for [[The Big House in the Sky#A Button Challenge\|the big house 0x]]. Mario then [[frame walk]]s up a spire, slides down, and throws the Bob-omb in midair at the required HOLP location. He lands near the red coin star area, so he can collect the [[Rainbow Ride 100 Coins\|100 coin star]] (because he collected all of the big house coins) and then the [[Red Coins Amassed in a Maze\|red coin star]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zuc528e6AuY</ref>.

	Mario crosses the elevator using the messed-up axle location as normal. When he passes the arrow platform, he uses [[Pause Buffered Hitstun]] from taking huge [[Fall Damage\|fall damage]] to throw a fire clone at the HOLP, which is on top of a pole. There are two possible poles that can be used for this. The larger of the two requires bouncing on a nearby Goomba. Once done, simple Goomba bounces and messed-up axle location uses allow Mario to reach the pipe, which he enters using a [[Misalignment\|207 DR]].
