'''Sphynx Clip''' is a [[cap throw clip]] in the [[Sand Kingdom]] that allows the player to clip through the wall just behind the [[Sphynx]] at the backside of [[Tostarena Ruins]]. Clipping through this wall not only enables Mario to enter the treasure vault without talking to the Sphynx, but it also allows the player to access the room containing the ''Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands'' moon without the need to sink into the quicksand. Like all cap throw clips, Sphynx Clip can only be performed on game versions [[Version 1.1.0|1.1.0]] and earlier.

Although it is widely referred to as a [[roll cancel clip]], Sphynx Clip is believed to utilize the mechanism of a cap throw clip instead, thus making it not a true roll cancel clip. That said, it is easiest and most common to perform the trick using a [[roll cancel]], which feels similar in execution to roll cancel clips.

== Variants ==

There are two variants of Sphynx Clip that appear in Any% speedruns: single clip and double clip. Both variants utilize the clip not only to access the vault room and collect the ''Sphynx's Treasure Vault'' moon, but also to collect the ''Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands'' moon as well.
