'''Moon Cave Skip''', often shortened to '''Moon Skip''', is a jump that can be used to skip the entire interior of the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] in the [[Moon Kingdom]] from the outside. It involves jumping off of the head of the [[Sphynx]] in the [[Moon Kingdom overworld|overworld]] and exploiting wall jumping physics to reach the top of the cliff.

Moon Cave Skip is one of the single largest timesaving skips in the entire game. Since it bypasses the entirety of the large Underground Moon Caverns interior section, it saves around two minutes in total.

== Variants ==
 
=== One-wall-jump ===
A variant referred to as '''one-wall-jump Moon Cave Skip''' is often used by advanced speedrunners. As the name implies, this version of the trick only involves doing a single wall jump on the wall behind the Sphynx, which is followed by a [[dive cancel]] against the sloped top of the wall. After the dive cancel, one can cap throw and dive again to the right to land on solid ground. Very advanced players can opt for a [[divevault]] after this final dive to begin heading toward the [[Wedding Hall]].
 
Obtaining enough height to get a dive cancel against the top of the wall rather than [[Bonk|bonking]] requires fairly precise inputs.
