Transition In

Ways to soft bonk:

• Mario can collide with a wall in set_pole_position if the wall is within 50 units of 60 units above Mario, or within 24 units of 30 units above Mario. This affects all the pole actions. Velocity = -2
• Mario can press z or die while Holding Pole. Velocity = -2
• Mario can die while Climbing Pole. Velocity = -2
• When Mario let_go_of_ledge (this applies to Ledge Grab, Ledge Climb Slow, Ledge Climb Down, Ledge Climb Fast). Velocity = -8

Behavior

As with all airborne actions, a variety of "cancels" are checked prior to actually performing the jump action. See Single Jump#Airborne cancels

1. If A is pressed, wall kick timer is 0, and the previous action is Air Hit Wall, add 8000 to Mario's angle and do a Wall Kick.
2. Now, Mario performs the quarter-frame movement via a full common air Knockback step. The landing action is a Freefall Land action and the hard fall action is Hard Backward Ground Kb.
