First Moon Skip saves around 26 seconds if performed optimally, since the cutscenes associated with the first Power Moon are quite long. | ||
While it is possible to reach the next area before collecting ''Our First Power Moon'' on every game version, the trick is only useful for most speedruns on [[version 1.0.0]], since the game was later patched to prevent the boss fight from triggering until ''Our First Power Moon'' is collected. However, since [[version 1.3.0]] is now the fastest version, this trick has been made obsolete as runners on the newest version are now forced to collect the first moon. | While it is possible to reach the next area before collecting ''Our First Power Moon'' on every game version, the trick is only useful for most speedruns on [[version 1.0.0]], since the game was later patched to prevent the boss fight from triggering until ''Our First Power Moon'' is collected.

There is an alternative method of bypassing the invisible wall from the water that works only on versions [[Version 1.0.1|1.0.1]] and onward. On these game versions, there is a gap in the invisible wall closer to where the bridge lands, and the player can simply jump out of the water using a [[cap return jump]] and walk through this gap. | There is an alternative method of bypassing the invisible wall from the water that works only on versions [[Version 1.0.1|1.0.1]] and onward.

The First Moon Skip trickjump can also be used to [[softlock]] the game. This is done by activating the ''On Top of the Big Stump'' checkpoint before obtaining ''Our First Power Moon''. If the player collects the first Power Moon and then warps back up to the checkpoint before activating the Odyssey cutscene, the game will attempt to play the cutscene, but instead of Cappy talking to Mario, the game will softlock. Since it is impossible to pause the game to open the file select screen, this is a full game softlock. This softlock works on all game versions. | The First Moon Skip trickjump can also be used to [[softlock]] the game.

This softlock was previously used in [[Softlock%]], but it has since been replaced by a file softlock in Cap Kingdom. However, this remains to be the fastest way to initiate a full game softlock on a fresh save file. | This softlock was previously used in [[Softlock%]], but it has since been replaced by a file softlock in Cap Kingdom.
