I show that it is in fact possible to bring chuckya from the bottom of the course to the goomba ladder. Doing this in the ABC route allows us to only use 21 goomba clones instead of 34, so this should save time. Not to mention, it's a pretty cool strat!
There were so many dilemmas I faced while trying to bring chuckya up, but for each one I found some solution. The second hardest one was getting chuckya onto the rotating elevator. In the end, I figured out that I could use the messed up axle hitbox to do it (thanks to Kaze for making a rom hack showing the axle's true position). The hardest one was getting chucky past the arrow platform ride. In the end, I discovered that chuckya could go under the obstacles so long as Mario stood on the arrow platform for a couple frames right when chuckya ran into the obstacle.
