'''Upfrog''' is a theorized speedrun strategy within the [[Inside Top-Hat Tower|Top-Hat Tower]] in the [[Cap Kingdom]]. It involves using the [[Frogless]] jump to skip the [[frog]] capture near the base of the tower, and instead climbing up to and capturing one of the frogs halfway up the tower. Unlike the frogs at the bottom of the tower, the frogs on the upper level do not have an associated cutscene, eliminating the need to input the cutscene skip sequence.

'''Frogless''' is a technique that can be used to scale the [[Inside Top-Hat Tower]] level without [[Capture|capturing]] a [[frog]]. The most prominent part of the skip is a vertical [[trickjump]] used to climb a very tall ledge near the bottom of the level.

== Uses ==

=== Minimum Captures ===

The most prominent use case of Frogless is in [[Minimum Captures]] runs, since it bypasses the need for any captures in the tower.

=== Speedrunning ===

In [[Two-player mode|two-player]] speedruns, Frogless is the fastest known way to scale the interior of the tower. Scaling the vertical ledges without a frog capture is much more efficient than in single-player mode due to the ability to [[cap bounce]] instantly without [[Cap throw|throwing Cappy]], which makes the skip save enough time due to circumventing the need to skip the cutscene that normally plays when first capturing a frog, as well as enabling faster horizontal movement.

== Variants ==

=== Upfrog ===

'''Upfrog''' refers to using the trickjump to skip the first set of frogs, but then capturing one of the frogs partway up the tower to complete the second half. This is viable as a speedrun strategy since the frogs in the second group do not trigger the cutscene, eliminating the time needed to skip it.
