Rock FMS was the first method of First Moon Skip to be discovered. It is widely considered the more difficult of the two and saves slightly less time, so it is rarely still used. As the name implies, Rock FMS involves performing a [[vault]] from the top of the rock containing ''Our First Power Moon''. This trick is inconsistent for most runners since the rock has unpredictable collision properties, making it difficult to line up the vault. | Rock FMS was the first method of First Moon Skip to be discovered.

Wet FMS is an easier and marginally faster variant of First Moon Skip that was not discovered until well after Rock FMS was first found.

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.
