Transition In

See single jump for more details

  1. If Mario is squished and/or has a quicksand depth more than 1, cancel to Single Jump. (This cancel is shared with Twirling)[1]
  2. Mario's vertical speed is set to  .
  3. Mario's forward velocity is multiplied by 0.8

Behavior

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

At this point, two more things happen prior to the jump action:

  • Mario's quicksand depth is set to 0.
  • Mario plays a falling noise if he has fallen more than 1150 units from his peak.

With the jump action occurring, the following happens:

  1. If Mario's vertical speed is not negative, his animation is set to the double jump rising animation. Otherwise, it is set to the double jump falling animation.
  2. If the B button is pressed, Mario will either enter the dive action if his speed is greater than 28 or the jump kick action otherwise.
  3. If the Z button is pressed, Mario will enter the ground pound action.
  4. Mario performs the other noises for the jump.
  5. Now, Mario performs the quarter-frame movement via a full common air step. The landing action is a double jump land action and the check has both the "Check Ledge Grab" and "Check Hang" flags.
