When reading the articles for Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS star missions, I noticed that just the intended way to get the star is described, but not faster alternative methods or shortcuts. A good example is Wall Kicks Will Work, which has a major shortcut: You can jump all the way down from the course's top, where the starting position is, to the wallkick section by using a single jump followed by a kick straight before landing to prevent fall damage and get some additional backwards momentum.
Altough this is a very popular shortcut, it is not mentioned by a single word in the article.
Are such major shortcuts relevant and if yes, is a new section "==Shortcut==" required, like it is done in Mario Kart articles? And what about glitch-abusing shortcuts like Cannonless, Bomb Clip, Pillarless or others, are they relevant too, altough they are glitches and considerably more difficult to perform?
PS: I'm only talking about shortcuts, which can be used to gain the star faaster, not about ABC or CCCless strats, which can be extremely complicated and difficult to understand for readers if they don't know about SM64's mechanics.
