Mario is the main protagonist of Super Mario 64, and is the main object that the player controls.

Most of the code involving updating Mario has to do with actions (see Action#Frame for a technical summary).

Action	Controls
Move
There are two modes of moving, walking and running. The more the control stick tilts away from the center, the faster Mario moves; the opposite is also true.
Single Jump	A on floor
The initial velocity of a single jump is equal to 42 + Horizontal speed / 4.
Swim	A in water
Shoot from cannon	A
Double Jump	A → A against floor
After jumping or falling, press A when landing on the floor. The initial velocity of a double jump is equal to 52 + Horizontal speed / 4.
Triple Jump	+ (A → A → A) against floor
After double jumping, press A when landing on the floor. At least 20 speed is required to triple jump. With the Wing Cap, you don't need to be moving to do a triple jump, and if you don't cancel it with a ground pound, dive, or landing in the first few frames Mario will start flying.
Wall Kick	+ (A → A against wall)
Mario must jump to a wall and when he touches it, press A. Mario must have at least 16 speed.
Sideflip	→ ( + A)
Jump button must be pressed while in the turnaround action. Mario must have at least 16 speed.
