| | A |
| '''Moon Cavern Skip''' (also referred to as '''Moon Cave Skip''', '''Cave Skip''' or simply '''Moon Skip''') is a jump that can be used to skip the entirety of the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] in the [[Moon Kingdom]]. It involves jumping off of the head of the [[Sphynx]] and exploiting wall jumping physics to reach the top of the cliff.
| |
| | |
| Moon Cavern Skip is one of the single largest time-saving skips in the entire game. Since it bypasses the entirety of the large Underground Moon Caverns interior section, the skip saves well over two minutes.

| |
| To perform Moon Cavern Skip:
| |
| * The player must either groundpound, spinpound, backflip or sideflip off the Sphynx's head;
| |
| * The player must wall jump off of a certain spot on the wall behind the Sphynx;
| |
| * The player must hold straight left until Mario grabs the wall on the left;
| |
| * The player must wall jump again, throw Cappy and dive on top of the back wall.
| |
| Other methods are possible but this is the most consistent and one of the most efficient
| |
| | |
| == Speedrun usage ==
| |
| This is used in virtually all categories that progress through Moon Kingdom in any way. In categories such as [[Any%]] and [[World Peace]], the skip saves a massive amount of time by eliminating the need to enter the caverns entirely.
| |
| | |
| In the case of [[100%]], [[All Moons]] and [[Darker Side (category)|Darker Side]], this skip allows the player to finish the Moon Kingdom quickly and then come back later to collect moons inside the caverns (including moons that spawn from the [[Moon Rock]]). Even in categories that require moons from inside the caverns to be collected, the skip saves time by skipping the long [[Madame Broode]] boss fight at the top of the cavern interior.
