Pianta Early

Pianta Village’s entrance is a red pipe high on top of the Shine Gate. This is difficult to climb for a casual without the use of either Yoshi (requires Pinna 4 shine) or a rocket (30 shines).

No Momentum Spin, No Awning Jump, Spinjump + Y-Turn

Beginner, Recommended

  • Lock the camera with L, then dive and rollout up-left notch
  • Spinjump up-left and wallkick dive onto the yellow roof, holding forward and preserving your momentum into your running speed
  • Jumpdive onto the yellow roof, rollout and jump
  • Hover across to the grass and spinjump wallkick hover up to the white ledge
  • Jump and do a landing spinjump, and press Y very shortly after your jump. Not at the same time
    • Its important to finish spinning just before you land, so you are holding forward and let Mario run for at least one frame to have enough speed/height. More details on spinjumps
  • Right when you enter Y-Cam, hold left to turn and once you reach a 45° angle to the wall, press Y to exit Y-Cam then hold A to wallkick (or double tap A holding the second press, but using Y to exit Y-Cam provides the best muscle memory for infinite wallkicks
  • Hover backwards onto the Shine Gate
  • Jump and tap hover and fall into the pipe

Triple Jump

Beginner/Intermediate

  • Hoverslide forwards and slightly to the left, take care to not reenter the M behind you
  • Hover into the wall and do a landing spinjump, or buffer a running spinjump into the wall and spinjump, up through the awning
  • Bounce up and dive once you rise above the roof
  • Rollout onto the green roof, holding forward and preserving your momentum into your running speed
  • Jumpdive onto the yellow roof, and do an instant momentum spinjump off the tip of the roof. Hover at the peak of your jump to avoid a ledgegrab on the white ledge.
    • Alternatively, you can also simply wallkick off the white part of the shine gate.
  • Do a triple jump with some speed and hover at the peak of your jump (4 frame window)
  • Turn around and ledgegrab the Shine Gate
  • Jump and tap hover and fall into the pipe

Spinjump + Y-Turn Variant (dive rollout)

  • Same as Spinjump + Y-Turn, but you do a dive and a small rollout on the white ledge of the Shine Gate. Saves about 0.6s.
