It is also important to pay attention to the moving platform near the launcher, to ensure that it won't be in the way of Cappy's homing ability. Since Cappy can only stall for a limited amount of time, the Power Moon must be collected quickly.

'''Ice Pillar Dram''', often simply called '''Ice Dram''' (not to be confused with [[Snow Dram]]), is a variation of Dram Strat that involves jumping to the nearby ice pillar and performing a spin jump from the top of it, instead of climbing all the way up to the same level as the Bullet Bill launcher and performing a long jump. Ice Pillar Dram involves capturing the Bullet Bill slightly closer to ''On the Lone Pillar'' and farther from the crate moon. In World Peace, this trick is slightly faster than traditional Dram Strat because the World Peace route does not get the crate moon, meaning the player is slightly closer to the next objective.

=== Single Bill ===
There is a fast variation of Dram Strat that can be performed if one manages to [[spinpound]] on the box that stores ''From a Crate in the Ruins'' in a near-perfect fashion. If they can collect the Power Moon and quickly recapture the Bullet Bill, they will be put up against a short amount of time to get to ''On the Lone Pillar'' before it explodes, which means it is possible to get both Moons using a singular Bullet Bill (hence the community name '''Single Bill'''). This strat is best performed by doing a spinpound [[Rolling|roll]] to [[Jump#Properties|single jump]] to ''From a Crate in the Ruins''. After getting that Moon, one quickly rolls and long jumps to throw Cappy and capture the Bullet Bill. Afterwards, it's smooth sailing until it's not–all of the movement has to be performed decently fast for one to get ''On the Lone Pillar'' before exploding. This trick can save a slight amount of time in a number of main categories.
