When in doubt, watch the TAS: http://tasvideos.org/3968S.html
In particular, here's the timestamp: https://youtu.be/OzvFAZ6_G3w?t=770

Obviously boosts aren't super possible here, but of note: You both are starting with a slope jump, which is a higher base speed -- you're preserving that by bouncing on the goomba, which is very similar to the TAS's W3 Lair: https://youtu.be/OzvFAZ6_G3w?t=356

IIRC the main issue with pulling this off consistently is the jump timing -- if you have to adjust left to land on the goomba, then you're not saving any time.
