Snow Dram, also known as the Snow Kingdom Painting Jump, is a relatively hard jump in the Snow Kingdom that is initiated from the top of the Odyssey and consists of reaching the nearby painting platform. Since the platform is relatively close to the Odyssey, this moon is quite fast, making it worth it to attempt in some speedrun categories if the player is skilled enough. However, the jump can also be done purely as a trickjump, outside of a speedrun context.

This version of the trick is frequently used in two-player [[Any%]] runs. Instead of performing the Snow Dram jump at the end of the kingdom, it is performed at the beginning, but the action of Mario warping to the platform is saved until the end. Since Mario needs to warp out of Shiveria Town regardless, it is faster to simply warp out to the painting platform.

== Setups ==
When a runner attempts snow dram, they will usually do so in conjunction with a first person mode setup. There are many different setups and no one size fits all. If you are to attempt snow dram, try and experiment and design a personal setup as it will help you become more consistent at the jump. Of course, if you are able to do snow dram without a setup, it is slightly faster
