Lakitu Skip is the first trick runners must perform when doing a run in any category. On the castle moat bridge, Mario can land on the very edge and clear it without triggering Lakitu's dialogue.
Tips
Lakitu Skip can be performed on either side of the bridge, but it is faster to do so on the left side.
Select a setup that works best for you and stick to it in runs; the trick will become easier as your control over Mario improves.
If you are new to the game, it is advised not to reset over missing Lakitu Skip; the ~8 seconds you save from it will not make or break your run until you get to a higher level.
Visual cue. Mario must land to left of this line to not trigger Lakitu's dialogue.
