Broode Skip

Madame Broode Skip, often shortened to Broode Skip or called by its nickname Broodon't, is a two-player trick used in various minimum captures runs that allows three captures to be saved in the Cascade Kingdom by skipping the Madame Broode boss fight. Normally, the only way to gather the five moons required to leave the kingdom is by collecting the Multi Moon from the boss, but by using a difficult two-player jump to reach the Power Moon on the floating island, it is possible to collect five moons without any captures.

Since this trick eliminates the Broode's Chain Chomp capture entirely, it is also useful in minimum capture types runs.

Performance

Broodon't is notoriously hard so performing it is easier with a second player present. If you have no other person to play with, control cappy with your feet. To perform:

Go to the triceratops skull at the plateau at the top of the Cascade Kingdom

Triple jump off the triceratops' rightmost horn

At the peak of the jump, perform a cap bounce

Upthrow and navigate cappy on top of the island to roughly where the checkpoint is

Press Y

Dive so that you land on the platform with the checkpoint 'On Top of the Big Stump'

Move Mario to the lower platform beside this platform that has purple coins

Ledge grab on the side furthest from the water

Pull Mario back up on to the platform

Move to the corner that is diagonal to the bowsers kingdom warp painting

Change to 1 Player mode

Go into first person mode and look up

If you did everything right, cappy should have activated the checkpoint

Warp to the checkpoint and collect the moon
