I suggested doing the exact opposite of Matthias' WR, shrooming over the sand on laps 1 & 2 and the hill on lap 3, whereas he shroomed over the hill on laps 1 & 2 but stayed on the road and shroomed over the sand on lap 3. But my suggestion woukld be exactly the same as your 2-1-0 suggestion train-wise: in both cases you arrive at the first train on lap 3 having used all 3 shrooms (2 over the sand & 1 over the hill). 1-2-0 with the shroom over the hill on lap 2 would be another equivalent possibility, but I believe your 2-1-0 would be the best as the hill shroom works best when preceded by the startshroom.
In fact, talking about the exact shroomstrat is overcomplicating it, the only thing that actually matters at WR pace is how many shrooms you have used when you reach the first train on lap 3.
If you've used only 1 (like MJ in his new 1-0-2 WR), you have to swerve onto the sand to the right of the track to avoid the end of the train which has just passed.
If you've used 2 (like Matthias in his old WR) you can go through the gap between the 3rd & 4th trains.
If you've used all three (Mine & Finn's suggestions), you will obviously be further towards the front of the train, but exactly where is a mystery.
So the only thing to be discovered with regards to strat is where you arrive in relation to the train if you've used all 3 shrooms before the trains on lap 3.
