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.

Guaranteed 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
There's about a 10% chance the first chuck in room 1 kicks an unavoidable football so this strat is usually not recommended. The chuck bounces in the 3rd room can be avoided by a slight left-right.
