If you're a beginner for this category, while it's not a bad thing to know how to do this, I feel there are likely more basic gameplay mechanics to sharpen up before you put much focus into this. I have a 5:01 and did not do the walljump.

Two frame wall jump forward ~~~ Fairly simply setup, hold right but NOT the run button (A) until you start falling, gives you a bigger window to make the wall jump https://media.giphy.com/media/uj8Rt0BJL32FtL1p8K/giphy.gif

But like roopert said - unless you're going for a time close to 5:00 flat, your time is probably better spent optimizing other things - it's a fairly precise trick, and it will only save you a second or so if you get it, but it will lose you time if you miss it.
