Under normal circumstances, the game can be completed in a minimum of 13 captures, with the hardest trick in the run being [[Pokio Skip]]. This can be reduced by one if the game is played on version 1.1.0 or earlier, using the [[nut jumping]] exploit, and/or reduced by three if two-player mode is permitted, using [[Madame Broode Skip]]. Therefore, the absolute minimum number of captures required to beat the game (to the extent of the community's knowledge) is nine.

Additionally, the count can be reduced by nine if [[two-player mode]] is permitted, by using various 2P-exclusive tricks.


These two variables result in four distinct subcategories of Any% Minimum Captures, depending on whether the use of earlier versions (i.e. nut jumping) and/or two-player mode (i.e. Madame Broode Skip) are permitted. These categories are labeled 9 Captures, 10 Captures, 12 Captures and 13 Captures. The easiest of these subcategories is 13 Captures, since it omits Madame Broode Skip and nut jumping, both of which are considered to be extremely difficult. However, all four of these categories are quite challenging regardless, due to the presence of Pokio Skip.

This category is widely known due to streamer Smallant1, who is one of the most prominent runners for the category and holds many of the top times across the various subcategories.
The following table shows the required captures for each subcategory, as well as any skips used to bypass captures not required in a particular subcategory.

Minimum Captures Any% is a subcategory of Minimum Captures that involves completing the Any% category with as few captures as possible. In other words, the primary goal of this category is to simply complete the game while capturing the lowest possible number of objects or enemies.

Captures and skips

Under normal circumstances, the game can be completed in a minimum of 13 captures, with the hardest trick in the run being Pokio Skip. This can be reduced by one if the game is played on version 1.1.0 or earlier, by using the nut jumping exploit to skip the final spark pylon in Bowser's Kingdom. Additionally, the count can be reduced by nine if two-player mode is permitted, by using various 2P-exclusive tricks.

The easiest of these subcategories is 13 Captures, since it omits nut jumping and the difficult 2P tricks. However, all four of these categories are quite challenging regardless, due to the presence of Pokio Skip.

The following table shows the required captures for each subcategory, as well as any skips used to bypass captures not required in a particular subcategory.
