96 Exit & No Starworld

When entering the stage, hold right, run and a jump button. Do not release this jump button until Mario's feet touch the ground. If you release the jump button too soon, Mario may reach the buzzy beetle at a different point in the cape framerule, and not pick it up.

Faster Strat

First jump is right before the slope breaks. Release B once yoshi's nose is between the sparkles in the background. Eating the spike top in room 3 saves a handful of frames and is quite easy.

95 Exit, No Cape & No Cape, No Starworld

Safe Strat

It is possible to avoid bouncing left on both chucks in the third room, but it can be tricky.
Be careful on the sloped layer 2 platforms, they can eat jump inputs.

Luck Based Strat

This strat is usually not recommended, as it is "luck" based. The chuck kicks a football every 128 frames based on a global timer; about 24 frames give a football that Mario will need to jump under while another 24 frames will give an undodgeable football, giving about a 3/16 chance of taking a death even with perfect gameplay. The chuck bounces in the 3rd room can be avoided by a slight left-right.
