This trick is primarily used in the [[Any%]] category, but it can apply to other categories as well.

Since Daylight ~~Savings~~ Time functionality is built into the Switch's operating system, rather than implemented through Internet connectivity, setting the system's clock to the time when Daylight Savings takes place will cause the system's clock to jump forward an hour.

~~Daylight Savings Time~~ Abuse can be applied to any seed moon in the game ~~though the term Daylight Savings Time Abuse~~ is ~~normally~~ used to refer to the moon ''Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed.

DST Abuse can be applied to any seed moon in the game, although it is usually used to refer to the moon ''Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed'', since this is the only place where the trick is known to be useful in speedruns.

Without ~~Daylight Savings Time~~ Abuse, the time that it takes for a seed to grow varies depending on the size of the full grown plant. That being said, a seed takes anywhere between 15 and 24 minutes to grow (Exception being the long plant in Seaside Kingdom)

Here is an explanation of how to reproduce this trick in an [[Any%]] speedrunning context:

=== All Moons No Post Game ===

~~DSTA~~ is used in All Moons No Post Game because all of the kingdoms have more moons on a revisit before beating the game and since most of the revisits are done after Luncheon which is one kingdom after seaside, dsta is used to grow the seeds in seaside since it takes less than 20 minutes to complete Luncheon and revisit Seaside.
