A dive cancel is a movement technique that can be performed on certain sloped surfaces. The technique allows Mario's dive action to be canceled with a cap throw as Mario contacts the slope. This is one of the only known ways to cancel a dive aside from simply touching solid ground.
After performing a dive cancel, Mario will exhibit the cap throw animation, which then allows another dive to be performed. Because of this, it is possible to chain repeated dive cancels to climb certain slopes indefinitely.
Uses
Minimum Captures World Peace
Dive cancels could theoretically be used to scale the side of the Luncheon Kingdom volcano in order to perform the captureless variant of Meat Skip. This would likely be significantly faster than turnip climbing, although still probably slower than the other theoretical method of using slopevaults.
Miscellaneous
In the Magma Swamp level within the Luncheon Kingdom, repeated dive cancels can be used to climb to the top of the tall wall surrounding the level. Some portions of this wall can be stood on, and Mario can traverse the top of the wall by jumping between these portions. Video
