A '''sideflip''' is a type of jump that can be executed while Mario is moving and provides him with a decent amount of height. It is performed by quickly reversing direction and then pressing the jump button. | A '''sideflip''' is a type of jump that can be executed while Mario is moving and provides him with a decent amount of height.

Due to this lateral movement, sideflips are useful in very similar situations to [[Backflip|backflips]], which follow a similar path. One such example would be to clear an overhanging ceiling. The key difference is that sideflips are sometimes slightly better for situations where Mario is already moving prior to the jump. | Due to this lateral movement, sideflips are useful in very similar situations to [[Backflip|backflips]], which follow a similar path.

In the direction perpendicular to a sideflip, Mario's speed is not capped, and thus the player can build up an arbitrary amount of speed in this direction. This is called a [[speedflip]]. | |||
