Timing starts on power on and ends on the first frame of grabbing the cloned star.

I think this would be a good category since cloning literally gets no recognition in speedrunning despite how freaking cool it is

Nice idea but how u can clone a Star?

Cloning items (stars included) can be done by doing some shenanigans with methods of holding vacant item slots, like an exploded bomb but it's extremely difficult to control what will fill that slot and you usually end up holding dust.

Yeah it is very tough, but probably the best method is to grab an unloaded box and avoiding creating effects so that you can load and unload specific objects to get what you want
