The BLJ can be awkward to perform at times... Basically, a BLJ, or Backward Long-Jump is a regular long jump, done repeatedly while holding back on the control stick and pressing A repeatedly.
This will allow Mario to gain speed exponentially, and go up the 'Endless' stairs.
This trick is essential for a 16-star speed run.
