A seam clip is an extremely precise type of clip that involves clipping through the seam where two adjacent surfaces meet at an angle (generally 90 degrees or less). Clips through horizontal seams where a wall meets a flat surface are called ledge clips, while clips through vertical seams between two walls are known as corner clips.

Although both variants of seam clips are very precise, ledge clips are often considered more difficult since it is harder to align Mario perfectly for the clip. Many ledge clips have no consistent setup.

Uses

Two speedrun tricks used in the Any% run, among other categories, that utilize corner clips are Lake Clip and Ice Corner Clip. The former has a consistent setup and is used by many high-level runners, while the latter must be performed in midair and is therefore much less consistent, making it rarely used in actual speedruns.

Another trick utilizing a corner clip that is used in the World Peace and Darker Side categories is Inverted Pyramid Skip. This clip has no consistent setup at all, since it must be performed high in the air and there is no ground that can be properly used for alignment.

Locations

The following is a list of known seam clip locations, some of which have even occurred while inside a capture:
