First Moon Skip, often abbreviated as FMS, is a speedrun technique that involves skipping ''Our First Power Moon'' in the Cascade Kingdom and proceeding directly to the boss fight. First Moon Skip saves around 26 seconds if performed optimally, since the cutscenes associated with the first Power Moon are quite long.

First Moon Skip, often abbreviated as FMS, is a speedrun technique that involves skipping ''Our First Power Moon'' in the Cascade Kingdom and proceeding directly to the [[Madame Broode]] boss fight. First Moon Skip saves around 26 seconds if performed optimally, since the cutscenes associated with the first Power Moon are quite long.

This trick can only be used on version 1.0.0, since the game was later patched to prevent the boss fight from triggering until ''Our First Power Moon'' is collected. However, since version 1.3.0 is now the fastest version, this trick has been made obsolete as runners on the newest version are now forced to collect the first moon.

~~After performing this trick, collecting ''Our First Power Moon'' will crash the game.~~

*Wall jump off of the back wall and dive onto the platform to the right.

This method only works on version 1.0.0, since the invisible wall's collision properties are different on later versions.

== Behavior ==

After performing First Moon Skip and defeating Madame Broode, attempting to collect ''Our First Power Moon'' will cause the game to crash, since the reference to the ''Multi Moon Atop the Falls'' cutscene is invalid. Upon rebooting the game, ''Our First Power Moon'' will still not register as collected, rendering it impossible to collect it on a save file in which First Moon Skip was performed.

== Other uses ==

~~FMS~~ can be used to softlock the game by activating the 'On Top of the Big Stump' checkpoint, obtaining the first ~~moon using the intentional method~~ and then ~~warping~~ to the ~~'On Top~~ of the ~~Big Stump' checkpoint~~. This softlock was previously used in ~~softlock~~% ~~before~~ it ~~was~~ replaced by a softlock in ~~cap kingdom~~. ~~This~~ softlock ~~can be done~~ on ~~versions post 1.0~~.0

The First Moon Skip trickjump can also be used to [[softlock]] the game. This is done by activating the ''On Top of the Big Stump'' checkpoint before obtaining ''Our First Power Moon''. If the player collects the first Power Moon and then warps back up to the checkpoint before activating the Odyssey cutscene, the game will attempt to play the cutscene, but instead of Cappy talking to Mario, the game will softlock. Since it is impossible to pause the game to open the file select screen, this is a full [[game softlock]]. This softlock works on all game versions.

This softlock was previously used in [[Softlock%]], but it has since been replaced by a [[file softlock]] in Cap Kingdom. However, this remains to be the fastest way to initiate a full game softlock on a fresh save file.
