Fluffy Bluff Secret
Advanced
0:00 - Intro Cutscenes do not affect cycles for this star.
0:20 - Doing Fluffy Bluff Secret before the first mission allows you to get a Backwards Long Jump through the Cloud Flower as a result of the textbox. This gives you more momentum towards the pipe.
0:57 - Doing extremely short taps of the A Button will give mario a boosted single jump without jumping over any of the coins. Try and do as many of them as you can while collecting coins on the cloud.
1:00 - This single jump should beheld for much longer to cross the gap where there are no coins.
1:30 - Mashing both the DPad-Up button and the A button as Mario is landing on the planet will give you a very high probability of getting a Landing Cancel. (Regular camera cancels are not possible on this planet as they must be frame-perfect)
1:33 - There are a variety of different moves you can do to get to the top of the planet, but this is the fastest method available. Prioritise getting the Cloud Sideflips down.
2P Notes
2P can be used for slightly faster coin collection. See: Jhay Fluffy Bluff S
