I didn't use the star in reserve because this is more of a demonstration for a Full Game run*

It abuses a trick Riiflaza told me about that enables me to fly at running speed instead of the usual, slower flying speed. 

The sequence is easy until the very last part, normally I am underneath the orange platform and then I got to perform a wall jump, followed by a ground pound. 
This video was the first attempt I managed to land above the orange platform without having to perform a wall jump + ground pound, take note future 3DS TASers.

The difficulty of not using the mobile gates is stupidly suicidal for Single sitting attempts. You may as well use the last gate because you only lose 3-5 seconds. 

*Runs including
Warpless
All Castles
100%

Any% doesn't count because you don't even visit that world at all, you only use:
1, Mushroom, Flower, 6.
