This is my first TAS using a floating point precise strategy. Normally to perform the second glitchy wall kick you cannot be hugging the wall as it becomes impossible for the quarter steps to line up on the correct walls, however I found that by getting a precise wall push at the intersection of the two walls on the second quarter frame, and taking advantage of floating point rounding errors, it is possible to perform the gwk. This allows me to do two gwks which give enough height such that I can avoid ground pounding to reach the top platform.
The start movement may be improvable, but Im happy with this for now.

-1f by lowering hspd before the last jump dive, letting me land earlier. This actually requires good fire rng as the fire needs to be further forwards than average in order to get the required distance. Using bruteforcing Ive gotten this up to working with 1 in 3 rng values.
As an added optimisation, I found that doing the long jump 1f later gives an extra frame of straining to land on the very edge of the platform in order to start grinding sooner. This doesnt save a frame, but removes the need for precise grinding to reach the swing.

Thanks to @Krithalith for creating and helping me set up scattershot, and @Crackhex for helping TAS the final run.
I had this idea for crossing the gap to the swinging platform area a while ago but was unable to get enough distance to reach the other side. I ran it through scattershot and it quickly found a straining method that got enough distance. Crackhex then provided the grind setup at the start and optimized the rest of the run.
EDIT: Tabascoth pointed out this strat only works on US as the wall order is different on JP.

(3 minutes slower than 1 star)
(also sorry the video randomly freezes)
The current Shindou any% TAS https://youtu.be/Dl2Ww6q9EXA collects 1 star since it does not skip DDD. While it was known 0 star would be slower than 1 star, it was still unclear how a 0 star method would work, as there was no clear HSWK setup to get enough speed to clear DDD without bonking. This strategy lets you skip DDD with 0 stars, and therefore beat Shindou edition with 0 stars.
This method first gets into the centre of the 30 star door by conserving sliding speed from forwards into backwards hspd using water. If you jump out of water with between 15 and 16 hspd, you can conserve and re-activate stored sliding speed.
Inside the 30 star door there is a roughly 2 unit wide stable region where mario can HSWK. Inputlua was not sufficient for TASing this, so I automated it with a python script using WAFEL. This HSWK setup lets me build enough hspd to clear DDD while being low enough to not bonk on the ceiling.")

By me, ERGCXander, Krithalith, Crackhex and Manama
Over the past few days lots of TASers have been working together finding optimizations and writing bruteforcers to improve this star. The first improvement was getting a better yaw on the starting slidekick which allows mario to face more to the right at the dive recover after the slope. This allowed us to reach the ice sculpture 1f earlier by simply doing the dive recover 1f earlier, however the angle still wasnt good enough to get into the star hole without overshooting the star hole instead of bonking. Using a variety of bruteforcers we were able to save enough units such that there was a small y window where we could successfully bonk on the side of the star hole without overshooting to save the frame.
