There are a number of ways to completely skip this boss, completing the level in 5-8 seconds.

Optimal

Begin by switching to Checkers and dropdashing across the platform. Do a quad jump across the gap, swapping back to Marbles and shell jumping up to reach the goal. Since Marbles is needed for Spicy Ice Speedway, and this is the fastest individual level strat anyways, this strat is optimal. Be careful not to shell jump too early or you will collide with the ceiling and not have enough height to reach the goal platform.

Early bubble/Easier quad jump

If you took damage at the end of End of the Raybow and reach this level with solo Checkers, this route grabs the bubble and also takes the easiest route under the boss fight. The second piggyback is not required, and you can swap to Marbles after the dropdash and before reaching the goal.

Intended

This is the dev's originally intended way to skip the fight. It's actually quite fast, especially since swapping isn't required. Simply knock Lunosa out with the shell before touching the boss fight platform to spawn the boss.

Checkers end

Instead of swapping to Marbles and shell jumping, it's possible to keep Checkers in front and do a normal quad jump to reach the goal. This usually requires at least two failed dropdashes, and combined with the fact that Marbles is needed for the next level anyways, this route is slower. However if you are comfortable chaining failed dropdashes it's potentially safer, as failing to get enough height with Marbles cannot be recovered.

Aim for a time of 6-8 seconds, depending on what strat you choose.

-Lunosa can be completely skipped by going under the stage (dev intended). The Fastest way to do this is by quickly doing a dropdash jump at the start then rolling of the edge into a piggyback jump to throw right under the barrel. After that you do a dropdash into a piggyback then swap into a shell throw. If you get into the barrel you can still dropdash out of it then piggy back jump into a teamthrow to reach the goal.

-==Alternative (slightly slower)==
+Begin by switching to Checkers and dropdashing across the platform. Do a [[Tech and glitches#Quad Jump|quad jump]] across the gap, swapping back to Marbles and [[Tech and glitches#Midair Shell Jump|shell jumping]] up to reach the goal. Since Marbles is needed for [[Any4-1|Spicy Ice Speedway]], and this is the fastest individual level strat anyways, this strat is optimal. Be careful not to shell jump too early or you will collide with the ceiling and not have enough height to reach the goal platform.
-Alternatively you can also do 2 dropdash cancel at the end instead of the swap shell throw, this is slower.

+==Early bubble/Easier quad jump==
-This route is more begginer friendly, grab the rope at the start into a dropdash to the next rope. Jump on the cliff to dropdash again then roll off the edge into a piggyback jump over the barrel. Teamthrow and dropdash jump right to the ledge of the goal cliff.
