'''Dram Strat''', often simply referred to as ''' | '''Dram Strat''', often simply referred to as '''Dram''', is a [[capture warp]] speedrun technique used in the ruins portion of the [[Sand Kingdom]]. It involves throwing Cappy upward near a [[Bullet Bill]], collecting the [[Power Moon]] in the alcove below as Mario, and then homing in with Cappy to warp back up to the Bullet Bill. | ||
The trick was named satirically after [https://www.twitch.tv/Dram55 Dram55], the speedrunner who discovered the trick, since he claimed to dislike when speedrun tricks were named after their discoverers and asked the trick not to be named after him. The joke has also been extended to unrelated tricks such as [[Snow Dram]]. | The trick was named satirically after [https://www.twitch.tv/Dram55 Dram55], the speedrunner who discovered the trick, since he claimed to dislike when speedrun tricks were named after their discoverers and asked the trick not to be named after him.

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. | 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.

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. | |||
