A side flip is a "jump" that is caused when the A button is pressed during the turning around action or the finish turning around action. It gives Mario up to 512 units of vertical distance, equally as high as a backflip. Unlike a backflip, Mario can ledge grab from a side flip.

Mario only has to meet two condition to enter this action.

Behavior
