Normal Exit

For all the wings strats, it is important to pick up the shell with right momentum before each attempt at the dupe. It is also important rub up against the block, but not hold right when throwing the shell.

Wings

Spit out the red shell as the left side of the midway goes offscreen in order to line up correctly for the green shell.

This strat causes less lag, but is more difficult.

Key Wings

These wings are between 1 and 2 seconds faster than the normal version.
The most difficult part of this version is picking the shell up with leftward momentum. Being too far left will have the shell not bounce on the ground and too far right will drop yoshi in the pit, and lastly, depending on yoshi's bouncing, it can be tight to not land back on yoshi after dismounting him. The wings are invisible because the sprite slots are full in this area, while the sparkles still show up since they aren't sprites.
One last thing to note is there can be a variable amount of lag depending on the score, so score manipulation is recommended, although not required.

No Starworld

No Wings

Eat the shell at the midway to reduce lag in the rest of the stage.

Wings

Grabbing the green shell for these wings can be hard to time.

Key Wings

Same as in the All Castles version, but with a different setup for the shell spit.

Wings

This strategy saves 8s. NCNSW wings can be done too. They are easier to do, but slower.

No Cape, No Starworld

Normal Strat

Grabbing the flower is only worthwhile if you are already fire mario, or have no powerup.

Backup Strats

Skipping the fire flower powerup transition saves a little time. Spitting the shell into the hammer bro at the end stops him from throwing more hammers and sets the shell up in a good spot to be used to boost up over the wall.

Wings

Normal Wings

These wings are harder and save less time than their cape counterpart.

You can get a quick dismount/spit off yoshi and get ready to do the dupe.

All Castles, No Cape

If you don't have blue yoshi for this level, see strategies in No Cape, No Starworld section.

If you already have two flowers, you can just eat the red koopa at the midway and fly to the end of the level.
