Super Mario Odyssey players are glitching their way to the top of the jump rope leade

[Administrator]

Super Mario Odyssey players are using a glitch to wrack up improbably high scores in the game's jump rope challenge, causing havoc with the mini-game's online leaderboards.
Odyssey's jump rope (or "skipping", if you prefer) challenge is situated in the urban sprawl of New Donk City. It can be found in the area's expansive plaza which, importantly, is also home to Talkatoo, the hint-giving bird that makes the mini-game-busting glitch possible.
The glitch is relatively well known in Mario Odyssey circles and works thusly: if you toss an item (includingy Cappy) at Talkatoo and trigger a conversation with him just as he's hit, the camera will lock in place, retaining certain attributes of Mario's current animation. Crucially, the effects of the glitch can be delayed by quickly shifting the camera away from Talkatoo. It will then trigger next time the bird comes into view.
