'''Sphynx Clip''' is a [[roll cancel clip]] in the [[Sand Kingdom]] that allows the player to clip through the wall just behind the [[Sphynx]] at the backside of [[Tostarena Ruins]]. Clipping through this wall not only enables Mario to enter the treasure vault without talking to the Sphynx, but it also allows the player to access the room containing the ''Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands'' moon without the need to sink into the quicksand. Sphynx Clip can only be performed on game versions 1.1.0 and earlier.

Performing Sphynx Clip utilizes the same button inputs as any other roll cancel clip, but has a unique setup that makes the trick somewhat easier:
Performing Sphynx Clip utilizes the same button inputs as any other roll cancel clip, but has a unique setup that makes the trick somewhat easier:
* Position Mario on top of the highest flat surface on the Sphynx's back, at the very left edge, so that he is partially visible from behind the Sphynx's head. Setups vary, but many players prefer a position where Mario is standing halfway on top of this surface.
