A roll cancel is performed by pressing X or Y, followed almost immediately by A or B (the buttons can also be pressed simultaneously). This will cause Mario to break out of the roll and throw Cappy in the direction that the joystick is being held.

A roll cancel is a movement technique that allows Mario to instantaneously cancel a roll with a cap throw. If performed at the correct angle, Mario can retain his speed from the roll or even redirect it in a different direction.

Execution

A roll cancel is performed by pressing X or Y, followed almost immediately by A or B (the buttons can also be pressed simultaneously). This will cause Mario to break out of the roll and throw Cappy in the direction that the joystick is being held.

In two-player mode, the window to perform the second input is smaller, meaning the two buttons should be pressed at the same time.
