Description

"Boing!"

Twirling is an action in which Mario will spin like a helicopter and fall down slowly, at a speed of -12.5 units per frame. The lateral speed is deterministic of the speed Mario had before twirling. This mechanic is utilized in the A Button Challenge, during Wall Kicks Will Work^[1].

Twirling can only be achieved by jumping on a Spindrift or a Fly Guy, so it can't be used much, only being possible in Cool, Cool Mountain, Shifting Sand Land, Tall, Tall Mountain, Snowman's Land, and Rainbow Ride.

Trivia

By holding the A button while twirling, Mario will fall even slower by twirling faster. When fast twirling, Mario falls at a speed of -9.375 units per frame.
In beta footage, we can see that a Triple Jump originally had Mario twirl, while still starting with the height of the triple jump.
