Slide
- This article is about the recurring move in theSuper Mario franchise. For other uses, seeSlide (disambiguation).
Theslide, sometimes calledsliding down a slope[1] and also called theSlide Attack[2] andSlope Slide[3], is a move triggered bycrouching on a slope. In 2DSuper Mario platformers, it is generally used to increase the character's momentum or to knock out enemies that stand in the way. The player can also slide in 3D platformers, although in most of them, it is automatically triggered upon the player landing on a steep slope and is intended to keep the player from accessing certain areas, rather than as a form of attack.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
This section is astub. Please considerexpanding it to include any missing information.Specifics:Super Mario 64 information
The slide first appears inSuper Mario Bros. 3 and reappears in manySuper Mario games. The character sits and slides down the hill while gaining speed (they go even faster on icy slopes); they are invincible to most enemies while sliding, though they become vulnerable again upon the character stopping. Also, characters can do a midairjump by sliding into midair and jumping.
InSuper Mario Bros. 3,Frog Mario andHammer Mario cannot normally slide; however, the latter can slide ifMario grabs aHammer Suit while sliding.
InSuper Mario World, it is also possible to slide up a hill by crouching whilerunning up one. Blueunshelled Koopas are also capable of sliding against Mario.
As ofNew Super Mario Bros., sliding has the same point chain asInvincible Mario.
Super Mario 3D World is the first 3D platformer to implement sliding as a form of attack. This move also appears inSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, where it acts the same way as in the original game.
InSuper Mario Run, when the player lands (as in, from the air) on a slope and is facing in the direction of it, they slide automatically. Sliding can be stopped either by using a non-jump move, including aSpin Strike, or by slowing down enough from flat terrain or upward sloped surfaces.Yoshis cannotflutter-jump during a Slope Slide, and therefore cannot stop sliding as easily as everyone else.
InSuper Mario Maker 2, the characters can slide on slopes in every style butSuper Mario Bros., as the move was introduced inSuper Mario Bros. 3. As of version 3.0.0, Frog Mario can slope-slide.
Super Princess Peach[edit]
InSuper Princess Peach,Princess Peach can perform two different slide forms: Slide andHill Slide. With Slide, Peach can slide on a flat surface by squatting while running, which can strike low-lying foes and crush blocks. With Hill Slide, she can slide off a slope by squatting on the slope of the hill.
Wario Land series[edit]
InWario Land II,Wario Land 3, andWario Land 4, the player can press
whileWario is on a slope to make him slide down on it, which segues into himrolling until he hits a wall. InWario Land: Shake It!, slopes automatically send Wario sliding on his belly without making him roll, defeating enemies on his way.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]
InMario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!,Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, andMini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, steep slopes cause theMinis to slide down uncontrollably. Sliding can sometimes be used to attack enemies, such asShy Guys,Pokeys, andCursed Mini Marios, or destroy fragilerocks. Slopes of any material (ground orRed Girder) can also attenuate long-distance falls, making the toy slide against the slope's surface instead of breaking on contact. In general, Minis cannot climb uphill slopes, and they will instead turn in the other direction shortly after they encounter one; however,Mini DK'sQuick Climb ability inMini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge allows the toy to run up slopes of any angle.
