| | Jaxi Ruins skip is a skip performed at the poison lake in the Sand Kingdom. It abuses the Bullet Bill capture, found in the ruins nearby, to get high enough to get on top of the ruins, doing this skips an underground section. It also allows the player to talk to jaxi, and thus ride him, before obtaining the multi moon on top of the inverted pyramid. |
| '''Jaxi Skip''', also known as '''Jaxi Ruins Skip''', is a speedrun trick that allows Mario to quickly reach the top of Jaxi Ruins in the [[Sand Kingdom]] using a [[Bullet Bill]] from the main area of the Tostarena Ruins, circumventing the [[Ice Cave]].

|
| |
|
| In certain advanced speedruns, [[Reverse Jaxi Skip]] is used instead of standard Jaxi Skip to scale the ruins from the opposite side to save a small amount of extra time.
| | == Reproduction Steps == |
| == Execution == | | Start by Capturing a Bullet Bill at the Ruins. Move with the bullet to the jaxi ruins, crash him into the wall next to the face in the corner. Wall jump against the wall and at the peak of the wall jump cap throw and dive onto the jaxi ruins. |
| [[File:LocationOfCollisionJaxiSkip.png|thumb|The ideal location to wall jump to reach the top]]The trick begins by capturing a Bullet Bill from the Tostarena Ruins and flying over toward Jaxi Ruins. In most speedrun categories that use this skip, players will collect the ''On the Leaning Pillar'' moon as the Bullet Bill on the way over to Jaxi Ruins.

|
| |
|
| The Bullet Bill should be crashed approximately into the left side of the [[Knucklotec]] emblem on the corner of the ruins. After the Bullet Bill explodes and Mario is forced out, wall jump against the spiral feature on the wall (pictured at right). At the peak of the wall jump, cap throw and dive onto the top of Jaxi Ruins.
| | A different way to perform this skip, is by going to the back of the ruins, jump on top of the jaxi statue next to the entrance to the jaxi rider sub area. then do a backflip and cap dive to get on the higher ledge. From here do another backflip and cap dive to get on top of the jaxi ruins. |

| ===Any%===
| | Since this trick can combine 3 quick moons together with the use of the same capture, many categories use it. |
| Jaxi Skip is used by beginners and intermediate players in [[Any%]] (the optimal route uses [[Reverse Jaxi Skip]] instead). In addition to collecting ''The Treasure of Jaxi Ruins'', the skip also allows the player to collect 50 coins from the [[Treasure chest|chest]] atop the ruins without taking any additional time, by opening it while waiting for the moon to become solid. This is useful since the Any% run relies on the purchase of two [[Crazy Cap|shop]] moons.

| In [[World Peace]], this trick is present in the beginner route for Sand Kingdom. Activating the checkpoint on the platform allows the player to return to Jaxi Ruins later after defeating Hariet, placing them near the entrance to the [[Underground Temple]]. The advanced route does not utilize this trick, in favor of using [[Dram Strat (Sand Kingdom)|Dram Strat]] as an element in the route to collect additional moons.
| | This trick is present in all routes of this category. It also allows the runner to grab the 50 coins chest to round up it's coin route up to Wooded Kingdom |
