This one took a lot of planning and practice, but it didn't take many attempts once I settled on a method.
This Star is accessible from either the first or second Star. Luigi starts a little closer to the pipe on the second Star, so I select "A Stroll Down Rolling Lane." (Selecting "The Chimp's Bowling Challenge" defaults to the first Star.)
0:19 - Normally after rolling up a ramp, the Rock Mushroom automatically cancels after landing on the next platform. You can prevent the Rock Mushroom from stopping by doing a jump and a spin before landing on a ramp. The ramp won't activate during the spinning animation, and you can reach the next platform by manually jumping off the top of the ramp.
It can sometimes be difficult to reach the next platform after a manual jump. In those cases, doing a spin can help because it slightly increases your speed. (More specifically, jumping slows you down a bit and doing a spin slows you down less.) Doing spins can also help you stay in rock form for a longer time.
0:32 - I stop here so that the 3 pins on the rotating platform on the next set of pins are accessible. Without stopping, I'll end up rolling across the side of the platform without the pins, and I wasn't able to get the required 5000 points without those 3 pins.
