'''Fish Clip''', also known as '''Seaside Boundary Manipulation''', is a trick in the Seaside Kingdom that is used in numerous speedrunning [[categories]]. This glitch was discovered by syrkl and involves abusing the physics of the ocean boundary with a Cheep Cheep to clip out of bounds.

~~The boundary acts as more of a force field than a barrier, slowly pushing Mario, and only Mario~~, ~~backwards when he gets near. Leaving a capturable enemy past the start of the force field will reset any momentum Mario had and will allow Mario~~ to ~~go farther~~.

This trick is often recommended even to beginner speedrunners, since it is relatively simple to perform.

== Explanation ==

The boundary surrounding the Seaside Kingdom acts as more of a force field than a barrier, slowly pushing the player backwards when they get near it. The farther out the player gets, the stronger the force will be pushing the player back inward.

However, if a Cheep Cheep is uncaptured and left at the location of the boundary, it will not be pushed. This means the player can leave a Cheep Cheep near the boundary, and then swim away as Mario to cause the force to subside. Capturing the Cheep Cheep with Cappy will cause Mario to warp back to it, leaving a temporary window where the force from the boundary has not yet caught up with the player's position, and the player can swim further out than normal.
