== Variants == There are two variants of Sphynx Clip that appear in Any% speedruns: single clip and double clip. Both variants utilize the clip not only to access the vault room and collect the ''Sphynx's Treasure Vault'' moon, but also to collect the ''Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands'' moon as well. === Single clip === Single clip, as the name implies, only relies on using the clip once to collect both moons. While clipping, the player must hold the control stick to the left so that Mario does not yet activate the loading zone to the treasure vault room, instead opting to collect ''Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands'' first. While collecting this moon, the player must remain partially out of bounds, so that afterwards they can dive back toward the loading zone and collect the moon from inside the treasure vault room. Upon exiting the vault room, the player can simply make their way over to the area with the [[Bullet Bill|Bullet Bills]] while remaining in bounds. This variant saves about seven seconds over the normal route. === Double clip === Double clip utilizes the clip twice to eliminate the need to backtrack, saving an additional three seconds over single clip and resulting in a total time save of around 10 seconds. The first clip is used to enter the loading zone immediately. After exiting the vault room, the clip is performed again in a manner identical to that of single clip, bypassing the loading zone and collecting ''Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands'' while partially out of bounds. Afterwards, the player can continue to travel toward the area with the Bullet Bills while remaining out of bounds. [[Category:Clips]] [[Category:Speedrun tricks]]
