We normally look to games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for brand new fan discoveries, but today it's Super Mario Odyssey's turn to hog the limelight.
A speedrunner going by the name of Xdxboxjaja has uploaded the following clip online, giving us a good look at what appears to be a brand new wall clip discovery. It can be performed in the Snow Kingdom and allows a player to grab that world's 18th Power Moon, 'Ice-Dodging Goomba Stack' in record time.
Usually, you'd have to capture a Goomba, jump on more of them to create a stack of four, then work your way over to a button to reveal the Moon (full guides to each of the game's Moons can be found here). With this new method, however, you can skip all of this and simply use Mario's jumping abilities to go straight through a wall.
Xdxboxjaja believes that the new discovery should shave off around eight seconds for any speedrunners focusing on beating the game in the fastest time possible. Even if you're not a speedrunner, though, you can still have a bit of fun trying to pull this off.
Just a few weeks ago, another Super Mario Odyssey player found a way to skip a good chunk of the final boss battle.
Thanks to iheartmcflurry for the tip!

The video suggests that the developers forgot to put collision detection on that part of the wall, rather than there being a tight spot to force yourself through.
(Sees Super Mario Odyssey)
(Get hyped thinking DLC is being made/released)
(Sees that it's just about a wall glitch that shaves off 8 seconds)
Oh...
Glad you finally got the memo about the spelling of "mamma mia" 🥳
In actuality, it was probably discovered a mere week or two after release by non-speed runners who aren't uploading their gameplay videos online.
8 seconds is like... an eternity for speedrunners!
@clvr
What do you mean by that?
Oh no,Take it easy Mario!
@ACNHislit they've used "mamma mia" as a subheader for Mario-related articles many many times before, but a lot of the times they would write "mama mia" and I would always correct them.
Nintendo may have this patched within a week or two. either way, i already collected that star. may the guys next mission could be to find a faster way of stacking Goombas.
This is like Mario 64, players kept discovering new glitches for speed runs all the time.
