[[File:EFrS03DVUAEk kD.jpeg|thumb|220x220px]]'''Daylight Savings Time Abuse''', often abbreviated as '''DSTA''' or sometimes '''DST Abuse''', is a speedrun trick that abuses the way the Nintendo Switch's system clock handles [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time daylight savings time], or DST, in order to harvest a time-dependent seed (which normally takes 21 minutes to grow) instantaneously to obtain a [[Power Moon]]. This trick is primarily used in the [[Any%]] category, but it can apply to other categories as well.

This trick is primarily used in the [[Any%]] category, but it can apply to other categories as well.

Since DST functionality is built into the Switch's operating system, rather than implemented through Internet connectivity, setting the system's clock to the date and time when DST takes place will cause the system's clock to jump forward an hour. This can be timed so that it causes a seed to grow instantly, since the game thinks an hour has elapsed since the seed was planted.
