Help with flagpole glitch in a rom hack?

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I couldn't find anywhere better. I'm working on TASing a hack, and I can't quite figure out how to do flagpole glitch in one of the levels. I'm starting to think it might not be possible here, but I thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas on how to do it. Here's a video showing what the end of the level looks like:

I don't think you can do FPG, but I think you can do something better. If you kick the koopa shell towards the flagpole then land on it in a specific spot, you can clip super low into the flagpole and get pushed out to the left side, saving in and round 2 seconds. That's called FFPG, or Fukk Flagpole Glitchs,. It's the same thing as BBG, excapt with a koopa shell.

Ohhhh I forgot about that trick. I'll give it a try and see if it works. Thanks!

Maybe the tas can do super small jump, but if not then maybe the tas will use the wall, or something

And you need correct subpixels for fpg

Yeah but the problem was that I would either bonk my head on the overhang or be jumping too close to the flagpole. I just gave up on it and finished the run cause I couldn't get FFPG to work either but I might come back and revisit it sometime.
