-When Mario gets off of a shell, the game sends a "signal" that the shell uses to decide that it should unload. The "getting off a shell" signal overrides other signals, so if the player gets off a shell at the same time as collecting a coin, but the stop riding signal will prevent the coin from actually unloading.
-This process can be repeated by using a cloned shell, which allows for the shell to be reused multiple times.
+'''Ride cancellation''' is a technique that allows the player to prevent a signal from being sent by dismounting a Koopa shell.
+== Mechanism ==
+When the player dismounts a Koopa shell, a dismount signal is sent out. This signal overrides all other signals being sent on this frame, including loading and unloading, preventing them from being sent. Therefore, by dismounting the Koopa shell, the player can prevent a signal from being sent.
+== Applications ==
+Its main application is as an [[Infinite Coin Glitches|infinite coin glitch]], in combination with [[Cloning#Koopa_Shell|shell cloning]]. The player can clone a shell to gain access to infinite uses of the Koopa shell, and can then collect a coin on the same frame as dismounting the shell. The coin does not unload, allowing the player to return to the shell clone and repeat the glitch.
