If Mario is | If Mario is in a [[single jump]] or [[double jump]] with a forward velocity less than 28 units/frame, then pressing B will cause Mario to perform a Jump Kick. In addition, if A is being held with a stick magnitude less than or equal to 48 or horizontal speed less than 29 while Mario is in certain ground actions<!-- CLARIFY WHICH -->, pressing B will also cause Mario to perform a Jump Kick. (See also [[Jump kick#Speedkick|Speedkick]]) When the Jump Kick is performed, Mario remains in the kicking state for 8 frames unless the action is ended early by Mario landing or hitting a wall. | ||

When Mario is on the ground with 29 or more speed, pressing B with a max stick magnitude will cause him to perform a [[dive]]. But pressing B with A held and a stick magnitude less than or equal to 48 will cause him to perform a kick instead. This preserves most of Mario's speed (only losing about 1 unit), for that reason it's widely used in TASes and [[RTA|RTA speedruns]]. | |||
