Super Mario Odyssey speedrunners often use glitches to grab tricky power moons or skip through major portions of the game. A new patch implemented alongside the new Luigi's Balloon World mode last week blocked some of those crucial tricks, slowing any runner who upgraded their game. Now, the community is trying to figure out what to allow in their runs and how to keep their leaderboards fair.

Super Mario Odyssey has tons of coins to collect and items to purchase. One special area with dozens of gold coins makes it easy to max out your wallet and transform Mario into Uncle Pennybags.
One of the most impressive things about Super Mario Odyssey is the tight controls: Nintendo's mascot has a ton of movement options. Players are using Cappy to skip entire portions before a Moon, or are using the hat to get into hard-to-reach areas. Better yet, Nintendo seems to have anticipated that fans would try to bend and break Odyssey.
