Sphynx Clip: Difference between revisions - SMO.wiki, the Super Mario Odyssey wiki

Line 3:

This glitch was formerly used in the [[Any%]] category to save up to 10 seconds. However, since version 1.3.0 has significantly faster loading times than all previous versions of the game, the time saved by Sphynx Clip and other version-exclusive tricks has been negated.

== Execution ==

Performing Sphynx Clip utilizes the same button inputs as any other roll cancel clip, but has a unique setup that makes the trick somewhat easier:

* Position Mario on top of the highest flat surface on the Sphynx's back, at the very left edge, so that he is partially visible from behind the Sphynx's head.

* Face Mario directly toward the wall behind the Sphynx (south).

* Press the crouch button and crouch-walk forward for a couple of steps to ensure that Mario is the optimal distance from the wall.

* Instead of performing a regular jump to initiate the ground pound, perform a backflip and then immediately ground pound.

* After the ground pound lands, perform the standard roll cancel clip inputs (Y+X+B or any equivalent sequence of inputs). If attempting to clip without entering the loading zone, hold the joystick to the left during these inputs.
