'''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.

While it is possible to reach the next area before collecting ''Our First Power Moon'' on every game version, the trick is only useful for most speedruns 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 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.
