'''Moon Cave Skip''', often shortened to '''Moon Skip''', is a jump that can be used to skip the entire interior of the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] in the [[Moon Kingdom]] from the outside. It involves jumping off of the head of the [[Sphynx]] in the [[Moon Kingdom overworld|overworld]] and exploiting wall jumping physics to reach the top of the cliff. | |||

== Variants == | |||
=== One-wall-jump === | |||
A variant referred to as '''one-wall-jump Moon Cave Skip''' is often used by advanced speedrunners. As the name implies, this version of the trick only involves doing a single wall jump on the wall behind the Sphynx, which is followed by a [[dive cancel]] against the sloped top of the wall. After the dive cancel, one can cap throw and dive again to the right to land on solid ground. Very advanced players can opt for a [[divevault]] after this final dive to begin heading toward the [[Wedding Hall]]. | |||
Obtaining enough height to get a dive cancel against the top of the wall rather than [[Bonk|bonking]] requires fairly precise inputs. | |||

In the case of [[100%]], [[All Moons]] and [[Darker Side (category)|Darker Side]], this skip allows the player to finish the Moon Kingdom quickly and then come back later to collect moons inside the caverns. Even in categories that require moons from inside the caverns to be collected, the skip saves time by skipping the long [[Madame Broode]] boss fight at the top of the cavern interior, which is completely unnecessary since her defeat here is not tracked in any way. | In the case of [[100%]], [[All Moons]] and [[Darker Side (category)|Darker Side]], this skip allows the player to finish the Moon Kingdom quickly and then come back later to collect moons inside the caverns.
