'''Lake Clip''' is a speedrun strategy in the [[Lake Kingdom]] that involves clipping out of bounds using a [[Seam clip|corner clip]] to activate the [[Checkpoint Flag]] on the [[Warp Painting]] platform, collecting a [[Power Moon]] from the water below, then warping up to the checkpoint for another Power Moon. Because the clip is precise, it is usually only recommended for experienced speedrunners. Lake Clip saves up to six seconds in the [[Any%]] speedrun, depending on how quickly it is performed.

~~This~~ trick is no longer optimal in Any% due to the discovery of [[Lake Moon Clip]] by [https://twitter.com/relaxmas1/status/1385121935336607746?s=20 ~~Relaxmas~~], but due to the difficulty of that variant, standard Lake Clip is still used by almost all runners.

After collecting the ''[[End of the Hidden Passage]]'' moon, there is an extremely small gap in the collision between the two walls forming the convex corner inside the passageway. The player can clip out of bounds between these two walls by performing a precise setup:

After collecting the ''End of the Hidden Passage'' moon, there is an extremely small gap in the collision between the two walls forming the convex corner inside the passageway. The player can clip out of bounds between these two walls by performing a precise setup:

* Place Mario anywhere near the corner and move the camera as far to the right as it can go, and up far enough to get a good view of the area.

After the clip is successfully performed, the player can collect the moon from the chest in the underwater passage below, then warp up to the [[Warp Painting|painting]] ledge to collect the moon on top.

===Any%===

In the [[Any%]] speedrun, Lake Clip results in a route change that eliminates the need to retrieve the [[Multi Moon]] from [[Rango]]. As a replacement, the clip adds the ''[[Treasure in the Spiky Waterway]]'' and ''[[Secret Path to Lake Lamode!]]'' moons to the route, and the third extra moon, ''[[Our Secret Little Room]]'', is added to the end of the route.

Depending on how quickly the clip is executed, it can save up to six seconds in [[version 1.3.0]] and up to five seconds in prior versions in this category. The difference is due to the fact that Lake Clip introduces an extra load when compared to the easier route.

=== World Peace ===

In [[World Peace]], Lake Clip saves 2-3 seconds if done fast. As a routing difference, before collecting the ''[[End of the Hidden Passage]]'' moon, the route involves using a capture warp to the [[zipper]] to obtain the ''[[Cheep Cheep Crossing]]'' moon quickly. After collecting the moon on the [[Warp Painting]] platform, the player can jump directly to the [[Rango]] arena.
