'''Speed''', abbreviated as '''SPD''', is a type of internal variable that represents how many [[unit]]s [[Mario]] moves per frame. There are many speed variables, such as Horizontal Speed (HS), Vertical Speed (VS), X/Y/Z Speed, Sliding Speed, and X/Z Sliding Speed. These variables do not always represent how much Mario ''actually'' moves per frame; for example, when something is in his way, so he has horizontal speed but isn't going anywhere.

The main reason why Mario is able to get massive amounts of negative speed so easily, is because although the game developers capped Mario's positive speed, they forgot to give a cap to negative speed, allowing Mario to gets hundreds, thousands, or even millions of units of speed with tricks such as the [[Backwards Long Jump]], [[Hyperspeed Walking]] and [[Backward Shell Hyperspeed]]. This slight oversight is the main root of many speed-gaining tricks in the game.

The maximum amount of negative speed Mario is able to build up is approximately -3*10^38. At higher speeds, Mario's intended next position increases beyond the highest finite value the game can store his position in, and the game crashes.
