The tactic was discovered by Super Mario 64 speedrunner Alexpalix, and involves grabbing large penguin located nearby and using it to glitch through the hut's invisible collision barrier which prevents you from touching the door.

Incorrect grammar and wrong at the same time! You grab the small penguin to lure the large one where you need it to be.

+ the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)

This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.
