'''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.

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 since been negated. Additionally, with the introduction of [[Daylight Savings Time Abuse]] as well as [[Platform clip|Platform Clip]] and [[Icicle Clip]], it is unknown whether the use of Sphynx Clip is still optimal for older versions.

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.
