A '''vault''' is a movement technique that involves bouncing off of Cappy while Mario is on the ground. Vaults can provide lots of speed if they are chained from a [[ground pound]] [[Rolling|roll]] (seen on the right), making them very useful for trickjumps that require horizontal distance. Although these full-speed vaults don't provide quite as much distance as a momentum-aided [[triple jump]], they can be performed in a tighter space, especially if an up-down vault is used. | A '''vault''' is a movement technique that involves bouncing off of Cappy while Mario is on the ground.

A vault has a height of 496 units<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HynGdti4JSw</ref>, which is the exact same height as the [[backflip]] and [[sideflip]]. This height is not affected by how long any buttons are held after the vault. Vaults take more time to execute than backflips or sideflips, but they can be used to traverse much greater distances since they can be boosted with momentum. Because of this, backflips and sideflips are rarely used for trickjumps, while the vault is an invaluable tool for trickjumpers. | A vault has a height of 496 units<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HynGdti4JSw&t=0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HynGdti4JSw]</ref>, which is the exact same height as the [[backflip]] and [[sideflip]].

Up-down vaults are a variant of vaults that can be used to vault off of a platform with extremely limited space. First conceived by victoto, they involve using a midair downthrow to perform a vault that uses little to no horizontal space, and are therefore only possible to execute using joy-cons.
