File:One Bounce Bruncheon

Bruncheon is a trickjump that allows access to the mainland of Luncheon Kingdom before it is unlocked normally. When the trick is performed, the kingdom is in a state where the Odyssey is unloaded, meaning the player is unable to progress past the Luncheon Kingdom. Additionally, certain other elements within the kingdom are not present, such as the capturable slab of meat at the top of the Meat Plateau.

Reproduction steps

You will need a lot of precision for this trick, expecially if you plan on attempting it in single player mode. The idea for single player goes as follows :

  • Angle yourself properly with first person mode
  • Roll cancel close to the edge to keep the most speed
  • Vector perfectly
  • Launch cappy at the right time
  • Cappy bounce
  • Rainbow twirl as you get cappy back
  • Dive onto the lava
  • Hope you have enough life to make it onto the platform

Theorized speedrun route

Despite the game preventing progression to the later kingdoms from this early state of the Luncheon Kingdom, some players have theorized a route for the Any% speedrun category that entails using the Bruncheon state to collect moons in Luncheon, then going back through the painting to continue the game as normal.

The proposed route is as follows:

  • Play through the game normally up until the end of the Sand Kingdom, but select Wooded Kingdom before Lake Kingdom. (This ensures the painting to the Luncheon Kingdom is faster to reach.)
  • Complete the Wooded Kingdom normally, but collect a Life-Up Heart from a brick block inside the Sky Garden Tower.
  • Upon reaching the Lake Kingdom, collect the first moon as normal, then enter the painting to the Luncheon Kingdom.
  • Collect the moon on the painting island, and perform the Bruncheon jump to reach the mainland.
  • Capture the nearby Lava Bubble and use it to collect the moon on Salt-Pile Isle, then enter the Fork Flickin' room and collect both moons. Afterward, head over and collect the Atop the Jutting Crag moon.
  • Capture the Goomba below and use it to make a stack of two. Bring the stack over to the rainbow-colored mountain ridge and leave them in that area temporarily.
  • As Mario, collect the moon atop the pillar, the moon from the golden turnip, and the moon inside the crate.
  • Recapture the Goomba stack and use it to perform Meat Skip, using the Life-Up Heart that was collected earlier.
  • After being taken back to the Odyssey, collect the nearby Timer Challenge moon, warp back up to the painting island, and return to the Lake Kingdom.
  • Collect the remaining seven moons in the Lake Kingdom, and continue to progress through the game as normal until reaching the Luncheon Kingdom.
  • Upon returning to the Luncheon Kingdom, collect the salt moon on top of the large wall, followed by the moon from the two torches. Next, collect the alcove moon and head up to the Spewart arena.
  • Since Meat Skip was performed earlier and the Multi Moon in the stew pot was collected, Spewart will not be present. Collect the Timer Challenge moon, followed by the moon that would normally be awarded after defeating Spewart.
  • Enter the Magma Swamp sub-area, collect the moon near the entrance, and then warp back to the Odyssey. Continue to progress through the game as normal.
