It is possible to bypass this invisible wall in multiple ways, in order to make one's way up to the boss fight. However, the boss fight will only trigger if one is playing on version 1.0.0 of the game, making the trick useless for modern speedruns that utilize version 1.3.0. If one uses this trick in a speedrun, they must collect an additional moon after the boss fight to replace ''Our First Power Moon''. | It is possible to bypass this invisible wall in multiple ways, in order to make one's way up to the boss fight.

It is a common misconception that the invisible wall can only be bypassed on version 1.0.0, but it can in fact be bypassed on any version; however, it is only useful for progression on version 1.0.0 since that is the only version in which the boss fight will trigger.

It is to be noted that the invisible wall has different collision properties on versions 1.0.1 onward compared to version 1.0.0, meaning that some of the methods of bypassing it only work on specific versions. | ||

Rock FMS was the first method of First Moon Skip to be discovered. It is widely considered the more difficult of the two and saves slightly less time, so it is rarely still used. As the name implies, Rock FMS involves performing a [[vault]] from the top of the rock containing ''Our First Power Moon''. This trick is inconsistent for most runners since the rock has unpredictable collision properties, making it difficult to line up the vault. | Rock FMS was the first method of First Moon Skip to be discovered.

There is an alternative method of bypassing the invisible wall from the water that works only on versions 1.0.1 and onward. On these game versions, there is a gap in the invisible wall closer to where the bridge lands, and the player can simply jump out of the water using a [[cap return jump]] and walk through this gap. | |||
