Nut Clip: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:23, 5 October 2019

Nut Clip is a moon clip that takes place within the Wooded Kingdom tunnel, using the Tucked Away Inside the Tunnel nut moon. This particular clip has applications in many speedrun categories, since it allows Mario to collect the Behind the Rock Wall moon from out of bounds without breaking the wall, as well as providing a straightforward path for Mario to reach The Nut that Grew on the Tall Fence afterward.

Execution

Just like any other moon clip, Nut Clip involves tilting Mario's hitbox into the wall behind the moon by backflipping and then throwing Cappy into the wall just as the moon becomes solid.

Since the nut takes three hits to break, it must first be hit twice to prepare the trick.
Position Mario just below the nut, facing toward the camera.
Backflip once to break the nut, then backflip again to prepare the moon clip. Perform a cap throw in the direction of the wall just as the moon becomes solid. The timing for this trick can be achieved by mentally counting to five in rapid succession: performing backflips on 1 and 4, and throwing Cappy on 5.

Usage in Runs

Any%

This trick brings in an entirely different route for the Wooded Kingdom. You can also use it only to skip the gate which still saves time.

World Peace

Instead of a new route, its just used as a way to skip the lever and get to the cliff moon.
