Idle is the action where Mario stands still, turning his head left to right while not moving.

Behavior

Certain things here are more explained on their individual pages. If something lacks detail, check the link for more information.

As with all stationary actions, a variety of "cancels" are checked prior to actually performing the idle action. These checks are as follows:^[1]

Water - If Mario's height is lower than 100 units below the water height:
- The camera preset is updated.
- Mario's action is set to water plunge.
Squish - If Mario is supposed to be squished:
- The camera preset is updated.
- Mario's action is set to squished.
If the action is not the unused 0x0E action (always true) and Mario has less than 0x100 health:
- The camera preset is updated.
- Mario's action is changed to the standing death action.
Lastly, Mario interacts with quicksand if his floor is a quicksand floor.

With the Idle action occurring, the following happens:

If Mario has sunk more than 30 units into quicksand, his action is set to in quicksand.
If Mario is in poison gas, his action is set to coughing.
If Mario is not against a wall and has low health, his action is set to the panting action.

If Mario's animation has just ended, his head has turned 10 times, and there is ground behind him (that is not an object)
1. If Mario is in a cold environment, he starts to shiver, else he goes into the start sleeping action.
If Mario is against a wall, Mario has his animation changed to be standing against the wall. Otherwise, Mario's animation is set depending on which way he is turning his head.

Note: This is used only in Idle, Start Sleeping, Coughing, In Quicksand, and Panting.

If Mario is on a steep cliff, he is pushed off (into freefall).
If Mario is hit by a shockwave, his action is set to the shockwave bounce action.
If A is pressed, Mario's action is set to jump.
If Mario is off the floor, Mario's action is set to freefall.
If Mario is above a slide, he begins sliding.
If Mario goes into first-person mode, his action is set to first person.
If the joystick is held in a direction, Mario's action is set to walking.
