The '''3 Dark Side Skips''', abbreviated as '''3DSS''' (which is a pun on [[2D Skip Skip|2DSS]]), are three skips all performed in an identical manner that allow the player to skip the [[Topper]], [[Spewart]], and [[Rango]] boss fights in [[Dark Side (kingdom)|Dark Side]] by bypassing the [[Trigger zone|trigger zones]] that initiate each fight. This trick saves a large amount of time in speedruns that complete the boss rush, and was discovered jointly by Mars2030, MiiWii, and Sledged_Hammer.

The trick cannot be used on the second floor of the tower to skip the [[Hariet]] fight, since unlike the other three floors, there is an additional trigger zone that completely encloses the exit [[loading zone]], making it impossible to leave the room without initiating the fight. However, in [[two-player mode]], there is a faster method to skip the fights by scaling the tower from the outside, known as the [[4 Dark Side Skips]], that bypasses all four fights.
