The trick is much easier to perform in two-player mode, as it does not require as much out-of-bounds movement. However, the two-player method can only be used in categories that allow the use of two-player mode, such as Any% 9 Captures and 10 Captures.
The trick is much easier to perform in two-player mode, as it does not require as much out-of-bounds movement. However, the two-player method can only be used in two-player Minimum Captures categories, and is in fact usually removed from the run in favor of a [[Cappy return cancel]] to activate the checkpoint at the top of the Outer Wall.


This method only requires the player to scale the wall up to the top of the first ring, at which point the player can jump back in-bounds to continue the climb. The final step of the climb involves throwing Cappy upwards toward the Inner Wall checkpoint, and using two-player mode to maneuver Cappy to hit the checkpoint.

Although the trick is easier in two-player mode, it is also possible in single-player mode. This variant of the trick involves scaling the wheels all the way to the top from out of bounds. Because it does not rely on the use of two-player mode, this version of the trick can be used in categories that require the run to be completed in single-player, such as Any% 12 Captures and 13 Captures.

Additionally, this version of the trick is optimally faster for both single-player and two-player runs, since it does not rely on warping to the checkpoint as the final step.
