Infinite fall
An infinite fall is a location in which the player can fall indefinitely below a level without dying. This generally involves jumping far enough to get past the area's death plane, but in some cases infinite falls can be triggered using glitches, which will cause the death plane to be ignored.
Because Mario cannot warp back to safety while in midair, every infinite fall also functions as a file softlock.
