== Uses ==

Roll cancels are extremely common practice in speedrunning, as they allow Mario to quickly gain speed for various maneuvers. Maneuvers that incorporate roll cancels include roll cancel jumps, falling off of platforms and activating objects using Cappy.

Performing an instant roll cancel from the edge of a platform has its uses in trickjumping; namely, for jumps in which the target platform is extremely far away, such as [[Bruncheon]]. Although it does not provide any height, this method provides the highest airborne velocity since Mario begins his descent immediately after the roll cancel is performed, meaning there is no opportunity for his speed to be slowed with friction.

Roll cancels can also be used to clip through walls in specific spots in a maneuver known as a [[roll cancel clip]].
