Wall slide

A wall slide is a basic part of Mario's movement, and is most commonly used to initiate a wall jump, sometimes after a cap throw. When a wall slide is initiated, Mario will slowly slide down the wall with a very low acceleration and max speed.

Properties

A wall slide can be initiated by running and jumping into a wall. After a wall slide is initiated, Mario can move slightly left or right if the control stick is held in either direction. Pressing A or B while sliding will begin a wall jump.

A wall slide will be terminated if a wall jump occurs, if Mario reaches the ground, or the wall ends before Mario can touch the ground.

If Mario wall jumps or cap throws away from the wall after wall sliding, he will no longer be able to cap bounce. However, if Mario slides off the wall instead, he will still have his cap bounce.
