question about spynx skip moon 9
6 years ago

Hi,

I have managed the sphynx skip a couple of times. However im instantly arriving at moon 10. How do you get to moon 9 first?

What is moon 9 and moon 10?

If I'm assuming correctly, I think he's talking about Sphinx clip in Sand, where moon 9 is Hidden Room in the Flowing Sands and moon 10 is the Sphinx's Treasure Vault. I don't actually know anything about the clip, but I assume the key would be to try to dodge the loading zone for the vault.

Right as you are doing the wall clipping inputs, you want to turn right on the analog stick. This will change Mario's angle as he clips in, making him move to the left of the loading zone missing it completely, and not triggering it. Then you can simply jump towards Moon 9, collect it, and head towards the loading zone for the Sphinx room.

I have no idea how they do it. As soon as I clip it loads moon 10. In the speedruns I see that they can jump after the clip. Im totally missing something. Do you mean the left stick turning right? I tried as soon as im in the air for the groundpound but I still get to moon 10

Found my problem :) I was clipping without walking. Adding diagonal left walking when in the air before the groundpound and holding it, did the trick.

Cheered to quickly. Tried some more today and its just not consistent. Any tips are welcome. Im missing something here

Hi! I need help with this trick. What is the combination of buttons that I should do to get this glitch? Thanks.

-Stand in aprox the right place (look at the top speedruns for the best spot. It can be slighly off.

  • Jump with B -Ground pound with ZL + hold left stick left -Listen for the sound when Mario hits the ground, when he does quickly press X followed by Y&B together. (you are still holding left stick)

You have to roll your thumb to get x&b quickly enough. Its almost at the same time but if you do that you won't get constistant in it.
