'''Fish Clip''', also known as '''Seaside Boundary Manipulation''', is a trick in the Seaside Kingdom that is used in numerous speedrunning [[categories]]. This glitch was discovered by syrkl and involves abusing the physics of the ocean boundary with a Cheep Cheep to clip out of bounds. The boundary acts as more of a force field than a barrier, slowly pushing Mario backwards when he gets near, and it exhibits some strange behavior when Mario exits a capture near it. This trick is often recommended even to beginner speedrunners, since it is relatively simple to perform.

The boundary acts as more of a force field than a barrier, slowly pushing Mario, and only Mario, backwards when he gets near. Leaving a capturable enemy past the start of the force field will reset any momentum Mario had and will allow Mario to go farther.
