Nut jumping: Difference between revisions - SMO.wiki, the Super Mario Odyssey wiki

Line 2:

This glitch only works on game versions [[Version 1.1.0|1.1.0]] and earlier.

== Setup ==

The glitch must be performed using a [[large seed]], often colloquially referred to as a "nut", and does not work with standard [[Seed|seeds]].

Normally, large seeds only allow Mario to bounce on them while they're resting on solid ground. When a large seed enters a body of water, it is postulated that a [[wikipedia:Boolean_flag|flag]] is set that allows the seed to be bounced on regardless of whether it is grounded, which has the intention of allowing Mario to bounce on it as it is actively sinking in the water. If the seed is removed from the water while sinking (whether by Mario grabbing it or it despawning), the flag will be reset.

However, on game versions 1.1.0 and earlier, the game fails to clear this flag if the seed is removed from the water while it is also in its grounded state. This means that allowing the seed to sink to the bottom of a body of water allows this flag to be "smuggled" out of the water. Once smuggled, this flag will persist until reloading the stage even if the seed despawns, unless the seed is placed back in water and removed before reaching the bottom of the water. This setup be used to allow bouncing on the large seed in midair.

== Execution ==

After performing the initial setup, nut jumping involves repeatedly performing the following steps while in midair:

* Without holding any direction on the left joystick, throw the large seed by pressing X or Y.

* After a specific amount of time, [[dive]] into the seed, again with no joystick input. The timing for this is quite precise, since Mario must dive into a specific spot on the seed to be able to bounce on it.

* Continue holding X/Y after the dive or press it again just as Mario contacts the seed in order to grab it. Mario cannot grab the seed while in the dive animation, but he will do so instantaneously after bouncing on it and reverting to the jump animation.

* The bounce will propel Mario upward a bit, which is what allows the trick to be used to gain unlimited height. Around the peak of the bounce, the seed can be thrown again and the steps repeated.

== Explanation ==

To perform the glitch, the player must first locate one of the [[Large seed|large seeds]] that are used to plant beanstalks (the exploit does not work with regular [[Seed|seeds]]). The seed must then be made "wet" by placing it in a body of water and allowing it to sink to the bottom. Once Mario retrieves the seed, it will have different properties. (If the seed is placed back into water and retrieved before it sinks to the bottom, it will no longer be "wet").
