Scooter Clip, often nicknamed Scoot Clip, is a speedrun strategy in the Metro Kingdom that allows the player to abuse the scooter's physics to clip into the cage containing the Remotely Captured Car moon and collect it, as opposed to the normal method of capturing the New Donker playing with the RC Car. Scooter Clip can save anywhere up to eight seconds, depending on how optimally the setup is executed.

Explanation[edit | edit source]

Scooter Clip involves using a scooter to clip Mario's head into the side of the cage containing the Remotely Captured Car moon, just far enough for his hitbox to collide with the moon. This is done by abusing the fact that the scooter tilts when performing certain actions.

Rotating the controller to the side will cause the scooter to tilt slightly in that direction. Additionally, the scooter also tilts in the direction it is being steered. If both are done at the same time, they can be combined to make the scooter tilt just far enough to place Mario's head inside the moon's hitbox.

Execution[edit | edit source]

To set up and perform Scooter Clip:

Mount the scooter and begin driving toward the right edge of the cage. Optionally, you may begin to tilt the controller to the left.
Collide with the right edge of the cage, and slowly move to the right until the scooter slips past the edge. (This step can be skipped for top runners who can line up the trick without a setup.)
As Mario begins moving past the cage, tilt the controller sharply to the left. (Pro Controller and Joy-Con Grip users will find that an angle slightly past 90 degrees works best, while those using detached Joy-Cons will want to tilt the controllers until they are nearly upside down.) At the same time, flick the joystick to the left to steer the scooter toward the cage.

If done right, Mario's hitbox will extend past the cage wall and collide with the moon, causing him to collect it.

Speedrun usage[edit | edit source]

Since Scooter Clip allows the Remotely Captured Car moon to be collected very quickly, this trick is applicable in all main categories of the game.

-Scooter clip (commonly referred to as scoot clip) is a speedrun strategy used in many categories where mario uses the scooter in metro kingdom to clip into the cage around the ''Remotely Captured Car ''moon to collect it. Scoot clip can save anywhere between 8 seconds if done optimally and 4 second if you take a long time setting up.

-The scooter is subtly effected by motion controls; ie, if you rotate your controller to the left, the scooter will tilt left. This also works for rotations to the right. This is abused to make scooter clip possible. Although scoot clip can be done setupless, it is easier to use a setup until you are confident. To setup and perform scoot clip

-*Slowly move to the right and when you begin moving past the cage, rotate your procontroller or joycon grip to about 90 degrees. If you are using detatched joycons, you will have to rotate them to about 170 degrees.
-If done right, you should collect the moon. Please note, you have to be next to the cage for this to work with no distance whatsoever between mario and the cage. Here is another tutorial on scoot clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gPhHarxXic
