The distance Mario moves depends on both his speed and the steepness of the slope he is standing on. Steeper slopes cause Mario to move more slowly. The portion of speed that is actually used for movement after the slope is taken into account is called De Facto Speed.
Surprised? Well, it´s true.
 
Mario´s speed only indicates the speed he would be travelling on a flat ground, but when Mario moves on slopes, even though a speed meter measured his speed as high speed, he would move slower.
 
This real speed is called De Facto Speed, and it varies with the steepness of the slope, but it doesn´t matter if he is moving uphill, downhill or sideways on the hill.
