Following the discovery of Cappy Return Cancel, lowering the minimum captures to 3, the mods of speedrun.com decided to remove the Minimum Captures category from the leaderboard altogether.
This lead to heated debate in the speed-running community and has yet to be concluded.[[Category:Categories]]

Minimum Captures is the most widely known low% category in Super Mario Odyssey. It involves completing objectives while capturing the lowest number of objects or enemies. Since it is much more difficult to accidentally capture something than it is to accidentally perform other low% actions (such as jumping), Minimum Captures is popular among speedrunners.

Categories

The most widely known Minimum Captures category is Any% Minimum Captures, mainly due to well-known streamer Smallant1, who is known for speedrunning its different subcategories. However, Minimum Captures routes also exist for other categories. The table below lists the minimum number of captures for various subcategories, along with difficult tricks that are exclusive to that run. All of the runs in the table utilize Pokio Skip.
