*'''Spinning in Air''' - When Mario bounces off a sprindrift or fly guy, or gets sucked into a tornado in Shifting Sand Land, he enters a twirling state. While in this state, you can hold A to make Mario spin faster and cover more ground as he descends. | *'''Spinning in Air''' - When Mario bounces off a sprindrift or fly guy, or gets sucked into a tornado in Shifting Sand Land, he enters a twirling state.

*'''Pole Grab''' - When you grab the bottom of a pole, Mario will try to catch it but fail most of the time. If you mash B, he will keep trying to regrab the pole instead of falling off of it. You will see this a lot when runners try to do Lakitu Bounce or grab the pole in Bowser in the Sky Reds. | *'''Pole Grab''' - When you grab the bottom of a pole, Mario will try to catch it but fail most of the time.

*'''Speedkick''' - This is probably the most difficult movement option in the game. At a high level, you speedkick to maintain your speed and get a specific amount of spacing into some other movement option like a triple jump wallkick or a jump dive. To do a speedkick, Mario must be moving. Before he makes contact with the ground, you must already be holding A and the control stick must be slightly tilted in the direction you want to speedkick. If you played any smash game before, its similar to performing tilts instead of smash attacks. Then, when Mario hits the ground, hit B to speedkick.
