Jaxi Ruins | Jaxi Ruins Skip (also known as simply Jaxi Skip) is a speedrun strategy that allows Mario to quickly reach the top of Jaxi Ruins in the Sand Kingdom using a Bullet Bill from the nearby ruins, without needing to traverse the underground cave to get there. | ||

The trick begins by capturing a Bullet Bill from the Tostarena Ruins and flying over toward Jaxi Ruins. In most speedrun categories that use this skip, players will collect the ''On the Leaning Pillar'' moon as the Bullet Bill on the way over to Jaxi Ruins. | |||
The Bullet Bill should be crashed into a specific spot toward the right side of the western wall of the structure (pictured at right). This spot can be identified as the upper left corner of the face emblem on the corner of the structure. After the Bullet Bill explodes and Mario is forced out, wall jump against the wall. At the peak of the wall jump, cap throw and dive onto the top of Jaxi Ruins. | |||
A different way to perform this skip is by going to the back of the ruins and jumping on top of one of the Jaxi statues next to the entrance of the Jaxi Rider sub area. Then do a backflip and cap dive to get on the higher ledge. From here do another backflip and cap dive to get on top of the Jaxi Ruins. | A different way to perform this skip is by going to the back of the ruins and jumping on top of one of the Jaxi statues next to the entrance of the Jaxi Rider sub area.
