Tree zipping: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 23:41, 25 December 2022

Tree zipping is an unpredictable glitch that can sometimes occur when Mario climbs a curved tree in the Sand Kingdom or Lost Kingdom. The glitch causes Mario to suddenly teleport in a seemingly random direction while still exhibiting the climbing animation, but often sideways or upside-down.

Properties

Tree zips most frequently occur when Mario climbs to the top of a tree, but have been known to occur in other places on the tree. After a tree zip occurs, Mario will stay in the climbing animation without falling, but often tilted in a random direction, until the jump button is pressed. Sometimes, the direction in which Mario teleports can be very high in the air or underneath the ground. There is no known consistent setup to reproduce the glitch, and most players hoping to reproduce it just repeatedly grab and climb a tree in various directions.

Examples

Here are some examples of tree zipping occurring in various directions:

-A 'tree zip' is something that occurs seemingly at random when mario grabs hold of a palm tree in sand kingdom. Tree zips are when mario shoots in a random direction whilst holding a tree. For example, you could grab onto a tree and end up high into the air or clipped into the floor. There is no real setup for a tree zip, if you want to get one then you'll just have to repeatedly grab onto a tree and pray.

-Low% runners have hoped someone may be able to get a tree zip high enough that they can land on the top of the inverted pyramid. This would be beneficial to many low% categories but as of right now, no one has been able to get such a zip.
