In the [[Any%]] speedrun, Lake Clip results in a route change that eliminates the need to retrieve the [[Multi Moon]] from [[Rango]]. The clip itself adds two moons to the route: the moon from the underwater passageway and the moon from the painting ledge. The third extra moon is acquired by entering the underwater town and talking to the Lochlady in the hidden room.

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 time save differential is due to the fact that Lake Clip introduces an extra load when compared to the easier route.[[Category:Tricks]]

=== Dark Side ===
Lake Clip saves even more time in the [[Dark Side (category)|Dark Side]] category since it removes the need to perform a trickjump to the painting ledge upon revisiting the Lake Kingdom later in the run. Lake Clip can save up to 20 seconds in this category, meaning that even if the clip is failed multiple times, it can still be faster than the route that does not utilize the clip.[[Category:Tricks]]
