Air Throw Land
Air Throw Land is unique as the only non-Airborne non-Cutscene action with the Air flag. Using this action, Mario can simultaneously land on a Fly Guy (twirling) and stand on quicksand (which turns twirling into a jump). Thus you can jump from this action 0xA.[1]

Note that the transition to twirl is not in any behavior of the Air Throw Land function, but rather from `mario_process_interactions`, which is called before any actions are executed. There, Mario interacts with a fly guy, and his action is set to Twirling. Then, twirl cancels into jumping when his quicksand depth is at least 1.[2]
Behavior
Before performing the action, stationary cancels are checked.
When performing Air Throw Land:
- If Mario is shocked by a Bowser shock wave, his action is set to shockwave bounce.
- If Mario is off the floor, his action is set to freefall.
- If ++animationTimer == 4, Mario throws his held object.
- Now, Mario performs quarter-frame movement via a full common stationary step.
- Mario's animation is set/updated for the "throw light object" animation.
- If the animation is over, Mario's action is set to the idle action.
