Editing Dino Skip

{{#ev:youtube|OksEYRbAkPE|400|right|urlArgs=start=74}}
'''Dino Skip''' is a speedrun strategy used to skip the intended route to [[Madame Broode]] in the [[Cascade Kingdom]] by taking advantage of the large amount of height that the [[T-Rex]] capture gains while bouncing on the trampoline. Dino Skip is used in nearly all speedrun categories of the game, since it is significantly faster than most other methods to reach the top of the kingdom. 

Although the trick is no longer used by top [[Any%]] runners due to the discovery of [[Dino Skip Skip]], the original Dino Skip still saves a tremendous amount of time over the intended route to [[Madame Broode]]. Due to the extreme difficulty of Dino Skip Skip, all except the most skilled Any% runners (as well as runners of longer categories) still prefer to use the original Dino Skip.
==Execution==
To perform Dino Skip:

*Capture the T-Rex on the raised platform and walk directly forward until it falls off the platform.
*Turn left and destroy the rock blocks covering the trampoline, and step onto it.
* After bouncing on the trampoline, continue to aim straight for the Madame Broode arena.
*At the peak of the bounce, uncapture the T-Rex, throw Cappy and dive toward the platform.

If performed correctly, Mario should land within the trigger for the boss arena, initiating the fight. This trick is relatively lenient: even if it appears that Mario will bonk on the side of the platform, he will often still come into contact with the trigger zone.

==Variants ==

=== Fast Dino Skip ===
An alternate method sometimes referred to as Fast Dino Skip can save a small amount of time over the standard method, by walking straight toward the trampoline as the T-Rex rather than walking off to the side and curving around to walk onto the trampoline.

However, this method is much harder than the standard version of Dino Skip, and many runners who are skilled enough to perform it will opt to use the much faster [[Dino Skip Skip]] instead.
