No Starworld
Flying lower brings more foreground objects into view and makes it easier to adjust flight speed to 51. Flying higher is recommended for beginners, especially considering the goomba rain spawns from the top of the screen.

Alternatively doing it scrolless is slightly less optimal but seems a little bit easier. This also shows the small mario yoshi grab, also slightly slower but useful to be familiar with rather than turn back for the midway if you go too far which is easily done.

Blue Shell Strat
This is an advanced strat, as the blue shell throw can be pretty tricky. The yellow shell bounce at the start only saves about 0.3 seconds and can be omitted.

Fastest Strat
The fastest way to clear the level. The fire grab doesn't lose time, however the jump at the end is finicky and is required in order to be faster than the blue shell route.

Pipe Fly
Spam cape spins in the underground section to manipulate the camera and make the pipe fly setup consistent. A turnback might be needed on the way up to the 3-Up Moon.
