Meat Skip

Meat Skip is a trick that allows the player to skip capturing the meat at the top of the Meat Plateau that is normally required to reach the giant stew pot atop the volcano. Instead, the player can abuse the physics of the Goomba capture to climb the side of the volcano and clip into the pot from the bottom.

Explanation

It is possible for the player to climb the side of the volcano as a Goomba or stack of Goombas by repeatedly mashing the X or Y button; each press of the button resets the Goomba's run animation, preventing it from sliding down the volcano. However, this can only be done when the Goomba is already in its animation reset phase. This means that if the player stops mashing X or Y, the Goomba will switch from its animation reset phase back to its sliding state and begin to slide down the volcano, and pressing X or Y again will not recover the slide.

The Goomba will default to the sliding state whenever it lands on the side of the volcano, meaning the player cannot simply jump onto the volcano and immediately begin mashing X or Y. There are two ways to enter the animation reset phase from the sliding state in order to begin scaling the volcano:

• Whenever the Goomba is captured, it will default to its animation reset phase for a brief period. This means that if the player uncaptures and recaptures the Goomba, they can begin mashing X or Y after the capture in order to scale the volcano. Video of Recapture Method
• If the Goomba passes over a convex edge of the volcano, it will experience an "edge cancel", which cancels its sliding and causes it to briefly assume the animation reset phase. If the player mashes X or Y while the Goomba passes over a convex edge (the joystick must be neutral), the Goomba will return to chaining animation cancels and allow the player to climb the volcano.
