In order to create a goomba oasis at the ideal location, a specific HOLP needs to be achieved beforehand. The HOLP takes 28 goombas to reach, the oasis consists of 7 goombas, and the final goomba staircase takes 36 goombas to bridge up the oasis, totaling 71 goombas to complete the mission. It took 55 hours to create, with 2 years of planning, resulting in a run that takes 56 minutes to finish. The TAS run was completed on May 29, 2015. The goomba oasis is created by using transport cloning, which occurs when the object is being pushed by an enemy, and releases the clone at the midpoint between its position and the HOLP, but at the HOLP's height, allowing a massive number of goombas occupying the oasis and bridging between the fourth and fifth secrets. However, due to overlapping hitboxes of these goomba clones, each goomba only has a thin region where it can be interacted with, so Mario needs to be maneuvered very carefully. Goomba clusters are created by releasing a group of goombas using the same HOLP but from different angles, allowing multiple goombas to stack at the same location. With the introduction of Goomba clusters and Goomba oases, the required number of goombas quickly dropped down from exponential to quadratic, leading pannekoek2012 to develop a strategy to collect all secrets.

It was known that the Hat in Hand can release an object remotely at the HOLP (held object's last position) because the HOLP does not update when Mario has a hat in hand.

The method to create a goomba bridge that requires the least number of goomba clones at the time requires an exponential number of clones. At the time, it was believed that constructing a goomba bridge by cloning is impossible, as the game has a limited number of object slots that can be used, and techniques of making more efficient goomba structures were not discovered yet. Previously, on August 31, 2013, pannenkoek2012 collected the star with 1 A Press, which was used to launch from the cannon with a wing cap to collect the secrets in the traditional way.

For both challenges, extreme techniques are employed to complete the herculean task.Ī Button Challenge Video: 'SM64 - Mario Wings to the Sky - 0x A Presses' History In Coinless challenges, the difference in hitbox means that the secret can be triggered without collecting the coin by accessing the upper 32-unit region, but unfortunately, the top coin of the ring (located at 200 units above the secret) overlaps the region completely. Gathering all secrets present a huge problem in the A Button Challenge as the secrets are located way above the ground, with the 5th secret being more than 5000 units high from the origin of the course. Additionally, a ring of 8 coins is present vertically encircling the secret. All secrets have a coin overlapped onto it with the same cylindrical hitbox of a radius of 137, but only extending 64 units up and 160 units down. Each secret as an origin point with a hitbox of 137 units, cylindrically extending upwards by 100 units and downwards by 160 units. There are 5 secrets, which are regions that Mario must pass through in order to spawn the star.
