Any% is a term used in speedrunning to denote the objective of simply clearing the game without the requirement of completing anything else. The Super Mario Odyssey Any% run begins when selecting the Start button on a new save file, and ends when Mario shoots out of the final wire in the Moon Kingdom during the Bowser escape sequence.

Because the only requirement to progress to the next kingdom in an initial playthrough of the game is to collect enough moons within the current kingdom, the Any% route is mostly modular, meaning the routing in each kingdom is mainly independent of the routing in other kingdoms. There are a few minor exceptions to this, such as planning to collect enough coins throughout the run to purchase Power Moons from the Crazy Cap shops in the Wooded Kingdom and Snow Kingdom.
