== Properties == Backflips have a height of 496 units<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HynGdti4JSw</ref>, thus making them identical in height to both [[Sideflip|sideflips]] and [[Vault|vaults]]. Backflips have a fixed height, meaning this figure is not affected by how long the jump button is held during the jump. During a backflip, Mario will also move backward slightly, making them useful in situations where Mario needs to clear an overhang or gain distance away from a wall during his jump. Backflips do not have a fixed horizontal distance, meaning if the player holds the joystick in a direction it will affect how much horizontal distance is gained by the backflip. Because sideflips also move Mario laterally a similar amount, backflips and sideflips are often interchangeable in certain scenarios. However, backflips are generally more suited to situations where Mario must initiate a jump from a standstill, while sideflips are better suited to when Mario was already moving prior to the jump.
