Jump-Rope Challenge
- “The Jump-Rope Challenge in our Metro Kingdom is zippy-skippy!”
- —New Donker, Super Mario Odyssey
The Jump-Rope Challenge is a minigame that appears in Super Mario Odyssey. The minigame takes place in the Metro Kingdom near the Main Street Entrance. There, two New Donkers are spinning a jump rope, and they invite Mario to try jumping over it. The goal is to jump over the rope as many times as possible. This minigame starts off slow, but after every five jumps, the New Donkers rotate the rope faster until 50 jumps, where the speed stops increasing. Starting from the Version 1.2.0 update, the speed becomes variable starting at 110 jumps. If Mario touches the rope or goes outside the area with the rope, it counts as a "MISS" and ends the game. When Mario backs up far enough, the New Donkers resume spinning the rope and Mario can restart. There are two Power Moons that can be obtained from this minigame: the "Jump-Rope Hero" Power Moon for jumping at least 30 times, and the "Jump-Rope Genius" Power Moon for jumping at least 100 times. After every 100 jumps, cheering from a crowd can be heard.
