The so-called "2-frame" method is by far the hardest method of performing a Rocket Flower Refresh, and involves collecting a moon immediately after performing a cap throw. It is named as such because the cap throw window is believed to be only two frames.

Under normal conditions, the cap throw must be either a spinthrow or an upthrow, but there is video evidence of a 2-frame refresh being performed with a standard cap throw. It is not currently known what the conditions are to perform this trick with a regular throw.[[Category:Glitches]]

The Rocket Flower Refresh glitch was previously used in the [[Any%]] route within the [[Seaside Kingdom]]. Just before collecting the ''Taking Notes: Ocean Surface Dash'' moon, the Rocket Flower was refreshed to allow Mario to continue onward toward the [[Glass Palace]]. A 2-frame refresh could even be performed just before collecting the moon, saving additional time at the expense of difficulty.
 
Ultimately, with the discovery of [[Fish Clip]], the notes moon was removed from the route in favor of the moon from the Sphynx's underwater vault. Rocket Flower Refresh is therefore no longer applicable to current Any% runs, and even the 2-frame method results in a slower route.[[Category:Glitches]]
