A Presses
There are 0x A presses required to get the star and hit the switch. This strategy doubles as the TAS WR with a time of 19"30. The star is too high to be collected with a dive recover but Mario can just maintain height from flying. Mario grabs the star before landing (which would've triggered the switch textbox). Note that the RTA record seems to have a shorter time because it doesn't include the textbox that appears when first entering the level, which takes ~ 1.46 seconds.
