A damage clip is a type of out-of-bounds clip discovered by glitch hunter Syrkl[1] that involves attaining skew at the moment Mario takes damage, so that the damage animation forces Mario upright at the position of his feet, thus forcing him partially through an adjacent wall or ceiling. Damage clips are very similar to moon clips.

Execution

The execution for a damage clip is the same as a moon clip, however damage clips are more often performed with a 2P vault. This is because 2P vaults allow you to get skew lower to the ground, where most damage sources are located, while not being nearly as hard as clipping with a roll and then a long jump. The steps for damage clipping with a 2P vault are:

  • Have a damage source coming towards Mario
  • Before he takes damage do a 2P vault
  • Cap throw once Mario is rotated 90 degrees.

Uses

The following is a list of instances where damage clips are useful:
