The Backwards long jump or BLJ is a way of building up a lot of speed very fast by long-jumping backwards. It is the result of a minor oversight by the game's programmers/developers: There is no reasonable limit on Mario's speed when it becomes negative. Therefore, by long-jumping backwards in a position where you can continue to long-jump backwards, you can build of lots of speed very fast. BLJs can be done on certain slopes, stairways, and obstacles. To perform a BLJ, do a long jump with Mario facing away from the obstacle/stairway/slope but move backwards towards it (by holding the joystick in the opposite direction). Mario will collide with the obstacle/stairway/slope, leaving him on the ground and enabling him to backwards long jump again. Mario's speed becomes negative at this point, and BLJing repeatedly causes a negative speed increase of approximately 45-50% of Mario's currently stored speed at that time.Once the desired speed is reached, simply stop BLJing and Mario will zoom off backwards at an incredibly high speed. If you continue BLJing long enough, Mario's speed, stored in a float, will eventually reach -229399772256808620000000000000000000000, then tick over to -1.#INF, and crash the game. | The '''Backwards long jump''' or '''BLJ''' is a way of building up a lot of speed very fast by long-jumping backwards.

The key aspect of BLJs is Mario's capability of retaining negative speed temporarily. Eventually, the speed will increase back to 0, however there are a few frames within a BLJ in which his speed doesn't deplete instantly. These frames allow for repeated BLJs, thus increasing his speed. | The key aspect of BLJs is Mario's capability of retaining negative speed temporarily.
