Roll cancel clip: Difference between revisions

A '''roll cancel clip''' (often abbreviated as '''RCC''') is a type of [[Out of bounds|out-of-bounds]] clip that involves [[Roll cancel|roll cancelling]] into specific walls while Mario is moving at a high speed. Most instances of roll cancel clips require hitting the wall in a very precise location in order to clip through. The roll cancel clip is one of the most prominent forms of clipping in the game, with many dozens of known locations to execute the trick.

Roll cancel clips are often easiest using an instant roll cancel, meaning that the roll cancel is executed immediately after initiating a [[Rolling|roll]] from a [[ground pound]]. This requires entering inputs in a very rapid succession. When using this method, some roll cancel clips may have slightly different timings for the inputs than others.

 

All roll cancel clips (but not [[Surface clip|surface clips]], since they are a different type of clip) are more precise on [[version 1.2.0]] onward, with a few no longer seeming to be possible at all. Many suspect that the developers attempted to patch the glitch but were unable to completely prevent it from being performed in most locations.

 

Some have theorized that [[Cap throw clip|cap throw clips]] are a more difficult form of roll cancel clips, but it is unknown whether this is true.

To execute a roll cancel clip using an instant roll cancel:  

*[[Jump]] or [[backflip]] (again depending on the specific clip setup), and perform a [[ground pound]] in midair.

The following is a list of known roll cancel clip locations:
