Shooting the flower cloud delays the next chomp which will otherwise sometimes fall in your way.
The major notable trick in this level is referred to as the "1-2 skip," which entirely bypasses the second screen of 1-2
Though very precise, the trick is easily attempted multiple times in succession and can be grasped by a new player with a little bit of practice.
The recommended method for performing this trick involves spitting a flower enemy (Crayzee Dayzee) into the wall and bouncing off of it (see below for more details).
After landing 1-2 skip, you go a bit to the left so you can have right momentum when you clear the wall.
You have to jump over the second pit or you will fall in and lose time.
Be sure to have an extra egg to shoot the piranha plant near the end, saving a bit of time not collecting the red coins.

You set up the flower spit by touching the left side of the wooden post closest to the wall as shown in the video.
Then jump onto the post while holding right and jump when you are in about the middle of the post.
Hold B the entire time.
When Yoshi is about directly over the red arrow, release forward and press Y at about the same time.
If you did it on the correct frame, you will continue holding B and be able to easily flutter over the ledge.

This 1-2 skip method is performed by combining a perfect jump with an extended flutter.
The trick is simple to understand, but hard to execute: you must bounce on a Shy Guy and then immediately perform a first-frame jump off of the wooden posts.
The part that makes this trick difficult besides just having a frame perfect input is that you cannot lose any height after jumping on the shyguy. If you lose any height at and still hit the perfect jump, you will just get a regular flutter.
If executed correctly, Yoshi will flutter much higher than usual.
A second flutter can then give Yoshi just enough height to go on top of the level, and skip the entire middle section.

This method is a method that is faster than both the perfect jump and the safe pole method discussed earlier.
There are a couple ways to do this but the one in this example is from Poahr.
This method is the least consistent of all the 1-2 setups, and should be avoided until you are absolutely confident with it.

You can opt out of 1-2 skip and complete the 2nd screen when just starting out.
For the jump under the flower, just press and hold jump a little before the red arrow sign and the auto flutter will get you on the ledge.

Avoid slopes as per usual. The first enemy you will want to eat will be the Yellow Shy Guy, and jump to collect the Flower. Swallow the next Dayzee. Next you'll want to jump and collect the two middle Red Coins, and do a descending neutral as you see demonstrated in the gif below. Grab the Green Shy Guy and with an upspit you can collect the Flower.

Just after the Incoming Chomp there will be four Red Coins with a small left right after falling you can collect them with a jump as seen above. Grab the Dayzee, and jump into the coins, spit the Dayzee into the cloud and collect the Stars with Yoshi. A back tongue shortly after should be used to collect the Green Shy Guy, save eating him until you pass through the Mid-Ring. A text box will appear, advance through it. You can see the back tongue demonstrated below in the gif.

For the pipe shots to collect the rest of the Red Coins in this room you want to run up against the pipe. Do a neutral and jump. Move across the pipe and do a reverse neutral to clear the rest of the foam as demonstrated in the gif below.

Avoid the Slopes as usual proceeding until the arrow sign as you see in the gif below. Jump when Yoshi is just past the arrow sign you will head bonk, and auto-flutter collecting the Red Coins, and the Flower.

After eating the enemy and running on the top of the slope to trigger a camera scroll jump eating the enemy above, and do a flutter to head bonk into the yellow section above. Hidden in this area is a Flower that you can collect with an upshot. The location of the upshot is demonstrated in a picture below.

Below you can see a new mechanic we haven't talked about yet in 1-1 and that will be used a lot in the rest of the run is Tonguing a wall. This will set Yoshi's movement to 0 and thus let you turn around immediately.

After landing begin an egg shot an angle like the one shown in the picture below will collect the last two Red Coins. Proceed down the pipe to the last screen.

Begin an egg shot as you fall through the screen transition, and do a shot into the cloud as you see in the video below. A left right as you land and a jump can collect the Flower. A descending shot shown in the video below can be used to break open the last cloud, jumping will get Yoshi into the explosion to collect all Stars. Eat the Dayzee, and collect the Pink Shy Guy for a Zewing Skip.
