*'''Spinning in Air''' - When Mario bounces off a Spindrift or Fly Guy, or gets sucked into a tornado in Shifting Sand Land, he enters a twirling state. While in this state, you can hold A to make Mario spin faster and cover more ground as he descends. When landing on an enemy (such as the Talons star in SSL), holding neutral while bouncing conserves your bounce speed and direction until you move the stick. | *'''Spinning in Air''' - When Mario bounces off a Spindrift or Fly Guy, or gets sucked into a tornado in Shifting Sand Land, he enters a twirling state.

*'''Pole Grab''' - When you grab the bottom of a pole, Mario will try to catch it but fail most of the time. If you mash B, he will keep trying to regrab the pole instead of falling off of it. You will see this a lot when runners try to do Lakitu Bounce or grab the pole in Bowser in the Sky Reds. | *'''Pole Grab''' - When you grab the bottom of a pole, Mario will try to catch it but fail most of the time.

*'''Quick Turn''' - When holding neutral while landing (e.g. from a rollout), Mario will lose all momentum and perform a quick-stop animation. By inputting a direction on the stick during this quick-stop animation, Mario will begin to move, cancelling the quick-stop animation. Once Mario's speed returns to zero, the next directional input will be a quick turn, and Mario will instantly face the direction you input. | |||
*'''Speedkick''' - This is probably the most difficult movement option in the game. At a high level, you speedkick to maintain your speed and get a specific amount of spacing into some other movement option like a triple jump wallkick or a jump dive. To do a speedkick, Mario must be moving. Before he makes contact with the ground, you must already be holding A and the control stick must be slightly tilted in the direction you want to speedkick. If you played any smash game before, its similar to performing tilts instead of smash attacks. Then, when Mario hits the ground, hit B to speedkick. Check out the videos below for more on speedkicks. | *'''Speedkick''' - This is probably the most difficult movement option in the game.
