Minimum Captures

Minimum Captures is the most widely known low% category in Super Mario Odyssey. It involves completing objectives while capturing the lowest number of objects or enemies. Since it is much more difficult to accidentally capture something than it is to accidentally perform other low% actions (such as jumping), Minimum Captures is popular among speedrunners.
