I collect the star Roll into the Cage in Tick Tock Clock using 2 A presses. The first A press is to jump to the platform next to the cogs with the bob-omb. The second A press it to jump up to collect the star.

This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 3 A presses. You can find that video here: http://youtu.be/BeVRvRlAK6E. ​Since then, I worked out a new strategy that saves an A press using the bloated bob-omb momentum glitch.

You see, when Mario holds a bloated bob-omb (whether normally or hands free), then he will have a constant backwards momentum. I take advantage of this momentum by having it push Mario during his ground pounds to help ascend the cogs. Then from the highest cog, I use the momentum to cross the gap to the cog near the cage. From there, I can enter the cage and collect the star using only one more A press.

This maneuver was extremely tedious to pull off. Mario's moves are very limited when maintaining a bloated bob-omb, since he is expected to grab it as soon as it starts to blow up again. This doesn't leave very much time or freedom to angle himself properly, since he must always be facing the bob-omb to pick it up again. Furthermore, the constant backwards momentum can be very difficult to control. Since the cogs have such a small surface area, Mario can basically never have his back towards the edge, since he would be pushed off to his demise. The bob-omb actually has 4 bloated sizes, ranging from small to large, with larger sizes yielding greater momentum. Thus, I used smaller sizes when trying to angle and position Mario (since they allowed for more control), and used bigger sizes when ascending the cogs and crossing gaps (since only they provided sufficient momentum to do so).
