How do I get Through the Jet Stream without the metal cap in Super Mario 3D All-Stars? - Rusted metal leaking pipe above grassy meadow

I'm playing the re-release of Super Mario 64 in Super Mario 3D All-Stars. In Jolly Roger Bay, there is a star called through the jet streams. I want to get a 100% on the level without getting the metal cap, and I know there is a way to swim and grab it. Has that been disabled in 3D All-Stars for the Switch? If not, will someone tell me where to swim?



Best Answer

Apparently, it is possible, but youtube comments generally agree that the All-Stars version makes it harder. Video proof:

The tactic appears to be swimming diagonally towards the star and hitting the "stroke" button when, only when, and exactly when Mario's stroke ends. One comment says the commenter used an online metronome to have his button presses be exactly 89 beats per minute to accomplish the task.
