Minimum Mario Any% is a Minimum Mario challenge run where the goal is to beat the game while minimizing the amount of Mario moons in the run.
Mario moons
Minimum Mario Any% in 18 Mario moons has only ever been completed by Dosle.[1] This is mainly due to Moe-Eye Escape, a trick to get many otherwise inaccessible capture moons with a Moe-Eye, being incredibly hard to perform. Since the trick takes around 5-8 hours even if performed perfectly, there is little interest in humanly performing the entire run.
In Metro Kingdom, before entering the Mechawiggler fight it is currently proven possible to collect two capture moons. After obtaining New Donk City's Pest Problem, which is only possible as Mario, it is then possible to collect six more capture moons. Since nine more moons are required to get the total 20, required to leave Metro, it is optimal to collect the remaining eight story moons, which are only possible as Mario. This then puts the Kingdom in peace, so Caught Hopping on a Building!, which is unlocked in peace, can be collected with a Spark pylon. Peace also unlocks more capture moons for Minimum Mario Max Moons as the Letter captures appear during postgame.
It is theorized that in Bowser's Kingdom, the Multi Moon can be collected as a Goomba using Goomba nut jumping, a theoretical trick in which the player can indefinitely bounce a Goomba stack off of a nut midair to get the Goomba stack to the arena, using nut jumping to get the nut under the Goomba stack each time. However, due to the use of nut jumping, this would require version 1.1.0 or earlier.
