Mario
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). The following are the controls for various movements:.

| Movement |  |
 |
|
| 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 |  |
 |
|
| The initial velocity of a single jump is equal to 42 + Horizontal speed / 4. | |||
| Double Jump | + |
+ |
+
|
| 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 | + + + |
+ + + |
+ + +
|
| 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. | |||
