I collect the star Roll into the Cage in Tick Tock Clock using 1 A press. The A press is to jump to the platform next to the cogs with the bob-omb.

This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 2 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/EIhHYG5JCgI. Since then, I figured out that I could use the bloated bob-omb glitch further to get onto the rail from the cage, and from there use it to clip back into the cage with a greater height, thereby collecting the star.

Maneuvering onto the rail was EXTREMELY difficult. Even in a controlled environment, this maneuver was very hard to execute, as it requires grabbing the bloated bob-omb on its fourth frame (when it is largest), landing on the ground to cancel out all vertical speed, and a very precise angle (~32000). But since I knew the position and angle I wanted Mario to get to, it was a matter of reverse engineering his path. In then end, I realized I needed to go to the right side of the cage first, and then back to the left side. This was crucial for clipping through the cage with the bob-omb. You see, having the bob-omb actually adjacent the left wall clips Mario through too early, not allowing him to grab the bob-omb to take with him. And having the bob-omb not close enough to the wall doesn't allow Mario to clip through at all. Only a very precise distance allows Mario to clip through while holding the bob-omb, and I took extensive measurements of my inputs in order to achieve this: http://imgur.com/QCOCl6s.
