Jaxi Skip

Revision as of 19:21, 30 September 2019 by smospeedrun>ImGaiaphage (removed an unnecessary gap in a paragraph and cleaned up wording)

Jaxi Ruins skip (AKA Jaxi Skip) is a skip performed at the poison lake in the Sand Kingdom. It abuses the Bullet Bill capture, found in the ruins nearby, to get high enough to get on top of the ruins. Doing this skips an underground section. It also allows the player to talk to the Jaxi, and thus ride him, before obtaining the multi moon on top of the Inverted Pyramid.

Reproduction Steps

 

Start by capturing a Bullet Bill at the Ruins. Move with the bullet to the Jaxi Ruins, crash him into the wall next to the face in the corner. Wall jump against the wall, and at the peak of the wall jump, cap throw and dive onto the jaxi ruins. 

A different way to perform this skip is by going to the back of the ruins and jumping on top of one of the Jaxi statues next to the entrance of the Jaxi Rider sub area. Then do a backflip and cap dive to get on the higher ledge. From here do another backflip and cap dive to get on top of the Jaxi Ruins.

Usage in runs

File:Frontside Jaxi Skip

Since this trick can combine 3 quick moons together with the use of the same capture, many categories use it.

Any% & Dark Side

This trick is present in all routes of this category. It also allows the runner to grab the 50 coins chest which can be useful if they are including a shop moon in their route

World Peace

This trick is present in the beginner route for Sand Kingdom. Grabbing the checkpoint on the platform allowing you to come back after defeating Hariet in order to get closer to the entrance of the ice area where Knucklotec is.

The advanced route traded this in favor of Dram Strat while still grabbing On the Leaning Pillar and Inside a Block Is a Hard Place.

Darker Side

In darker side, the second variation of this trick is utilised right after grabbing On The Eastern Pillar.
