In this video, I collect the star "Honeyfalls Secret" in 0.5 A Presses. The reason for the half a press is to jump off of the marshmallow at the end. To get onto the tracks for the rollercoaster, a very precise angle and speed is needed to reach the tracks without clipping through it. Nevertheless, this star isn't too terribly difficult.

Commonly Asked Question(s):

Q: Um... you pressed A to jump while on Yoshi, I heard the jumping sound.
A: One attribute of Yoshi is that he jumps on his own once Mario walks off a ledge. This is the cause of any jumping noises or jumping effects seen in the video. Holding A will also make these noises, but also will allow Yoshi to flutter jump while in the air.

Q: Um... you pressed A to jump off of Yoshi's back...
A: Pressing Z dismounts Yoshi, causing a "backflip-like effect".

Q: Um... but you definitely used A to jump off of the marshmallow.
A: Technically, yes. A is, in fact, needed to gain height off the marshmallow. HOWEVER, holding A gives the same effect as pressing A on the marshmallow. The only difference is, Mario bounces on the first frame available while holding A and on the marshmallow. To counteract this, we ground pound and/or kick to make the first frame of the jump lined up with the marshmallow spring.

If you wonder what some of the notation is, look here:
Whenever the A button is pressed, the text "A Press # (number)" will appear, notifying where and when the A press is hit.
If that text is in blue, that means that A press will be held and will later be used for a different purpose.
The blue A in the corner shows that the A button is currently being held.
If the blue A in the corner has a yellow outline, that means the held position of the A button is currently being used.
