'''Hyperspeed Walking''' (often abbreviated '''HSWing''') is a glitch that allows Mario to build up speed while walking in steep slopes submerged in water. It is useful in many [[Challenge|challenges]] including the [[A Button Challenge]]. | '''Hyperspeed Walking''' (often abbreviated '''HSWing''') is a [[Hyperspeed|hyperspeed glitch]] that allows Mario to build up speed while walking in steep slopes submerged in water.

[[Surfaces|Walls]] can keep Mario in place for small amounts of speed, but Mario will eventually break through them. [[Surfaces|Ceilings]], which usually extend farther than walls and keep Mario in place rather than pushing him, are often more useful. Even better is [[Out of Bounds]], which keeps Mario in the same place like ceilings do, but extend forever, allowing Mario to build up far more speed. | [[Surfaces|Walls]] can keep Mario in place for small amounts of speed, but Mario will eventually break through them.

The speed gained by HSWing depends greatly on the normal.y value of the floor in question.

However, the [[syncing speed]] is also greater on these slopes because Mario's [[de facto speed]] is less. | ||

It was used in the strategies to enter the [[Secret Aquarium]] 0xA on Virtual Console, and was also used for the [[Elevate for 8 Red Coins]] 0.5xA, [[A-Maze-ing Emergency Exit]] 0.5xA, and [[Watch for Rolling Rocks]] 1xA and 0.5xA strategies, although all of them are now outdated. | ||
