Rolling is the fastest method of movement across smooth surfaces in Super Mario Odyssey. There are multiple ways to initiate a roll, but the most fundamental is to press X or Y while crouching. Rolling gains its speed due to the ability to perform roll boosts throughout the course of the roll, which increase Mario's velocity.

  • Pressing X or Y while crouching

  • Pressing X or Y while still holding the crouch button just after a ground pound (note that pressing X or Y too early will result in a downthrow instead)
