Roll cancel clip
A roll cancel clip (often abbreviated as RCC) is a type of out-of-bounds clip that involves performing an instant roll cancel against specific walls. The roll cancel clip is one of the most prominent forms of clipping in Super Mario Odyssey, with many dozens of known locations to execute the trick.
Because roll cancel clips utilize an instant roll cancel, they require inputs in a very quick succession, and often a precise positioning of Mario in order to clip through. Some roll cancel clips may have slightly different timings for the roll cancel inputs than others. Some of the most notable instances of this type of clip include Inverted Pyramid Clip, Upstairs and Downstairs Snow Clip, and numerous clips through doors to buildings in the Metro Kingdom.
All roll cancel clips (but not surface clips, since they are a different type of clip) are more precise on version 1.2.0 onwards, compared to earlier versions. Many suspect that the developers attempted to patch the glitch, but were unable to completely prevent it from being performed.
Execution
To execute a roll cancel clip:
- Position Mario directly against the wall, or potentially slightly away from it, in the correct spot (this varies between clips).
- Jump or backflip (again depending on the specific clip), and perform a ground pound in midair.
- After the ground pound lands, initiate a boosted roll by pressing X or Y.
- Immediately cancel the roll by pressing Y+B or X+A (utilizing the extra button that is not already being pressed from the previous step).
