Walking

The walking action occurs when Mario is moving only by using the analog stick. It can also occur when exiting water (except if exiting water through a water jump).

Mario's speed during the first 45 frames (1.5 seconds) of walking. Note that this depends on the floor's slope (see De facto speed).

Common moving cancels

All actions in the "moving" group check the following cancels before running any behavior script:

  1. If Mario's y position is lower than 100 units below the water level, do stuff, Water Plunge
  2. If Mario's current action does not have the "invulnerable" flag, and input_stomped, dropheldobject stopridingobject Shockwave Bounce
  3. If input_squished, dropheldobject stopridingobject Squished
  4. If Mario's current action does not have the "invulnerable" flag, and health < 0x100, dropheldobject stopridingobject Standing Death
  5. Potentially cancel into Quicksand Death (sinkingSpeed = 0.25)

Set jump from landing

  1. If quicksand depth > 11, if Mario is holding an object, Hold Quicksand Jump Land else Quicksand Jump Land
  2. If on steep floor, update forwardVelocity and facing direction, Steep Jump
  3. Else:
    1. If double jump timer is 0, or squish timer is not 0, Jump
    2. Else if the previous action is:
      1. Jump Land, Freefall Land, or Side Flip Land Stop: Double Jump
      2. Double Jump Land; then
        1. if has wing cap: Flying Triple Jump
        2. if forward velocity > 20: Triple Jump
        3. Jump
      3. else: Jump
  4. Set double jump timer to 0

Behavior

When walking[1]:

  1. mario_drop_held_object
  2. if should_begin_sliding; Begin Sliding
  3. if INPUT_FIRST_PERSON:
    1. mario_drop_held_object
    2. if actionState == 1; Standing Against Wall
    3. if forwardVel >= 16 and m->floor->normal.y >= 0.17364818; Braking
    4. else; Decelerating
  4. if INPUT_A_PRESSED; #Set jump from landing[2]
  5. if INPUT_B_PRESSED;
    1. if forwardVel >= 29 and stickMag > 48; yVel=20; Dive
    2. else; Move Punching
  6. if INPUT_UNKNOWN_5 (aka neutral joystick: https://ukikipedia.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Turning_Around&oldid=17030); (same code as INPUT_FIRST_PERSON)
  7. if analog_stick_held_back and forwardVel >= 16; Turning Around
  8. if INPUT_Z_PRESSED; Crouch Slide
  9. update_walking_speed
  10. switch (perform_ground_step):
    1. case GROUND_STEP_LEFT_GROUND; Freefall
    2. case GROUND_STEP_NONE: if intendedMag - forwardVel > 16, dust
    3. case GROUND_STEP_HIT_WALL; push_or_sidle_wall
  11. check_ledge_climb_down (can transition to Ledge Climb Down)
  12. tilt_body_walking
