'''Fish Clip''', also known as '''Seaside Boundary Manipulation''', is a trick in the [[Seaside Kingdom]] that is used in numerous speedrunning [[categories]]. This glitch was discovered by Syrkl and involves abusing the physics of the ocean boundary with a [[Cheep Cheep]] to clip out of bounds. | |||
This trick is often recommended even to beginner speedrunners, since it is relatively simple to perform. | This trick is often recommended even to beginner speedrunners, since it is relatively simple to perform. | ||

The boundary surrounding the Seaside Kingdom acts as more of a force field than a barrier, slowly pushing the player backwards when they get near it. The farther out the player gets, the stronger the force will be pushing the player back inward. | The boundary surrounding the Seaside Kingdom acts as more of a force field than a barrier, slowly pushing the player backwards when they get near it.

However, if a Cheep Cheep is uncaptured and left at the location of the boundary, it will not be pushed. This means the player can leave a Cheep Cheep near the boundary, and then swim away as Mario to cause the force to subside. Capturing the Cheep Cheep with Cappy will cause Mario to warp back to it, leaving a temporary window where the force from the boundary has not yet caught up with the player's position, and the player can swim further out than normal. | However, if a Cheep Cheep is uncaptured and left at the location of the boundary, it will not be pushed.

After performing the clip, the ''Gap in the Ocean Trench'' moon is collected from half-bounds by shaking the controller to perform a spin attack. The loading zone to the Sphynx's vault can then be entered from out of bounds, allowing the moon inside to be collected. This route replaces the previous route, which utilized [[Rocket Flower Refresh]] to collect the notes moon earlier in the route, instead of the moon from the Sphynx's vault.[[Category:Tricks]] | ||
