This article is a list of tricks and terms commonly used in speedrunning.
Bomb Clip
In the mission Behind Chain Chomp's Gate, players can use a bloated bob omb to clip through the gate. This is faster than ground pounding, and doesn't trigger a cutscene.
Breezeless
The term breezeless was coined from a new trick that was faster than an existing trick. In the mission Mysterious Mountainside, the star is located in a hole. Players found out that Mario could skip the slide by jumping directly into the hole from above. The optimal route was to head left to the thing ledge, and use the breeze to get up, then jump down. Later, it was discovered that Mario could perform a triple jump, wall kick and ground pound to reach the hole, which was faster than using the breeze. This new trick meant the breeze wasn't needed, hence the name.
Carpetless
Carpetless is a trick in the star The Big House in the Sky which saves roughly 50 seconds off of the mission.[1] It is unused, however as its extreme difficulty makes it unviable in a 120 star run. This trick was first done in the Shindou Edition 120 Star TAS. Mario first heads to the ship and grabs a bloated bob omb. He then drops it at the platform on the other side of the plank. Mario then regrabs it while falling off the edge, causing the bob-omb's fuse to stop and for Mario to hold it hands free. He then navigates through the glass boxes, ground pounding to prevent him from walking. Once he reaches the warp, Mario the does 2 sideflips across the glass boxes and then sideflips to the castle wall, performs 2 glitchy wall kicks, and ground pounds, reaching the roof. Many speculated that this trick could potentially be done RTA.
In mid 2015, 2 players by the name of snowman and toadfan5 attempted to do this trick in real time using savestates. Eventually, toadfan successfully did it, making the first to do carpetless RTA with the help of savestates.[2] This achievement further implied that this trick could be done RTA. The first full completion of this trick came in 2019 when Xiah was able to complete it after 2 weeks of grinding.[3] This achievement re-ignited hope that this trick could one day be used in a 120 star run, but currently, it is still too difficult to perform. There have only been 2 people to ever do this trick: Xiah and Mikko[4].
Lakitu Bounce
Lakitu Bounce, in speedrunning context, is a trick Mario uses to in Rainbow Ride to reach the ship faster. It is done by triple jumping on the rotating octagons, wall kicking off of the side of the wooden ramp, and bouncing off the lakitu to get onto the ramp. From there, Mario can reach the ship quickly by climbing the pole and traversing the blue blocks. This trick is notorious for its difficulty, as it's very precise and needs to be done twice very late into a run.
Owless
Owless is a trick used in the mission Fall onto the Caged Island that skips using the owl. Players first head to the rotating platform, and then triple jump and wall kick into the cage. Although it is faster to sideflip instead of triple jump, it is much more difficult to execute.
