The Goomba stomp technique If you stomp several enemies in a row without touching the ground, you'll gain more points for each one. As the enemies attack, they'll be knocked out by the Koopa and you'll earn points and eventually 1-Ups. When an endless number of enemies, such as Lakitu's Spinys or some Bullet Bills, are coming at you, kick a Koopa shell so that it goes back and forth between two obstacles. 1-Up techniques The oscillating Koopa technique Have a Koopa do the dirty work of collecting points and 1-Ups for you.

Kick or release a Koopa shell at the right time, and you will find that they make excellent block removers. Shells can clear blocks When you have a lot of blocks that need to be cleared quickly, sometimes a well-placed Koopa will do the trick. Free fall jump When you're on an overhang, and you need to get under it so that you land on a platform directly below, jump up high into the air, and use the control pad to change your trajectory mid-fall. This can sometimes be faster and safer than jumping. Dash over small gaps If you accelerate (run while holding ) over small pits and holes, you can make it over them without jumping. You can also fly while squatting if you time it just right.

Jump and squat To get into narrow passages, get a running start and at the last second before you jump, press. On slopes which have small ramps at the bottom, you can slide down and make a last-second leap at the bottom for an extra high jump. Jet coaster jump Diagonal slopes are not just fun to slide down, they can also be used to launch you to new locations. Jump up and use the control pad to bend your jump around the higher block so that you land on top. Jump around corners If you are standing on a single block platform, and would like to rise to another block directly above you, stand on the corner of the lower block. This is even more effective when you're on ice because you don't need to time your squatting so carefully. Slide under When running, press on the control pad to squat and your momentum will help you slide through small gaps. If you wish to hit a block (visible or invisible) that has no solid platform beneath it, you must stand on the corner of an existing block, and jump up diagonally to hit your target. Movement techniques Diagonal jumping Some blocks are in difficult-to-reach places. On this page, you'll learn about a few extra moves and tricks that they can perform to get the best of Bowser and his cohorts. The basics covered in Controls are just the start of what Mario and Luigi are capable of.
