Swimming in Air Glitch for 2 Captures?

If a way to perform was found, could this be used to skip the ruined wire?

Probably, if someone found a glitch to flood the ruined kingom, but if the boss fight were underwater it would probably be impossible.

It actually would be, due to the fact that we assume the ruined dragon can't swim. He will drown making it fast but that is unlikely.

the dragon fight would be normal except mario can swim

Also, that would be a lot of swimming, mario might drown unless he has a life up heart

probably but you'd not only have to activate airswim you'd also have to spawn water in the kingdom which we have no way of doing so that's unlikely

Honestly I’m not a big 3 caps fan but I would love to know how in the name of god we would be able to spawn water in the ruined kingdom

Pennsylvania, USA

I'm pretty sure there is no known way to spawn water in any kingdom

Actually, there is an airswim glitch in lake/seaside kingdom, which are both rare loading defects of sorts (you can read about it here: https://smo-speedrun.fandom.com/wiki/Airswim). However, this is not relevant to the ruined kingdom as there is no infinitely large water source throughout the kingdom like there is in lake/seaside. "if we JUST had an airswimming glitch in ruined kingdom" is a statement that makes equal sense as "we could skip the ruined wire if we could JUST fly or teleport there". Both of them have no way that they could be possible with our current knowledge or have any backing as to why they might be possible in the future.

How about a CRC? To activate the loading zone?

The CRC won't work as there is no checkpoint in the boss battle

If you die and capture the wire in ruined on the same frame, you warp to the boss fight (which you probably already know). I am aware that this will not change anything, as you are still capturing the spark pylon, but I've wondered for a while "what if the game doesn't count it as a capture, because you're dying at the same time."

I know it sounds kinda stupid

That's interesting but how would you die on the same frame? I can test it out if its not too tricky.

I heard it from somebody in a smallant stream, and smallant mentioned it in his 3 caps tutorial video, and I've seen stuff like it in glitch videos

Its like the following: if you capture something on the same frame you fall into the abyss, you get warped to the coordinates (0,0) which is where the boss fight is

That’s not exactly true tho

To my knowledge, the capture has to have something called Cframe to do that and I'm pretty sure Spark Pylons don't have it.

Well TAS stuff exists, let’s test his theory.
