Wall jumps can only be done to gain height if a few criteria are met:
After wall jumping, the game will note the location and angle at which Mario wall jumped to determine whether he can perform a [[wall slide]] on subsequent surfaces.
 
* Mario is not higher on a wall that has an angle less than 90 degrees from the wall he jumped from
* The next wall is not too far away
* The next wall is at least 90 degrees apart from the wall Mario jumped from

A wall jump is a basic part of Mario's movement and can be initiated during a wall slide or immediately after contacting a wall. When a wall jump occurs, Mario moves away from the wall perpendicularly with a fixed speed.

Properties[edit | edit source]

While mostly locked into a single direction, Mario can actually slightly move left or right during a wall jump if the control stick is held in either direction. Wall jumps are commonly used after a cap throw before contacting the wall, in order to maximize height. A wall jump will usually prevent Mario from cap bouncing afterwards, but this can be avoided by wall jumping when Mario is very close to the ground.[1]

After wall jumping, the game will note the location and angle at which Mario wall jumped to determine whether he can perform a wall slide on subsequent surfaces.
