[[File:Nut Clip Tutorial by Tomshi|thumb|330x330px]]
A '''moon clip''' is a type of out-of-bounds clip that involves attaining [[skew]] at the moment Mario collects a [[Power Moon]], so that the animation of collecting the moon forces Mario upright at the position of his feet, thus forcing him partially through an adjacent wall or ceiling. The Power Moon used for the clip must be uncollected, meaning that a player will only have one attempt to perform a moon clip unless they create a backup of their save file.

The most common method used to perform moon clips is using a [[backflip]] against the wall (or in some cases, ceiling) the player wishes to clip through, and using a moon that is spawned in rather than preexisting.

A moon clip is a type of out-of-bounds clip that involves attaining skew at the moment Mario collects a Power Moon, so that the animation of collecting the moon forces Mario upright at the position of his feet, thus forcing him partially through an adjacent wall or ceiling. The Power Moon used for the clip must be uncollected, meaning that a player will only have one attempt to perform a moon clip unless they create a backup of their save file.

Execution[edit | edit source]

The most common method used to perform moon clips is a backflip against the wall (or in some cases, ceiling) the player wishes to clip through, using a moon that is spawned by a specific action.

As a general method to moon clip in this manner:

  • Begin spawning the moon.
  • At the correct moment, perform a backflip while facing away from the wall (if attempting to clip through a ceiling, this direction is less important).
  • When Mario's feet are facing towards the wall or ceiling, input a cap throw. The direction does not matter.
  • If done correctly, the moon should become solid at the same moment the cap throw occurs, causing Mario to collect it during the skew induced by the cap throw. This causes Mario's in-game position to be closer to the wall or ceiling than normally possible. The moon then forces Mario's hit sensors to be above his position, which should now be partially out of bounds.
  • After collecting the moon, continue moving in the direction of the wall (or cap bounce to stay above a ceiling) to ensure Mario does not clip back into bounds.

The timing of the inputs for each moon clip will vary slightly, since the positioning and spawn time tends to vary.
