Trip
Trip is a gameplay mechanic found various Mario and related games.
In the Mario & Luigi games, it is a status effect. Some enemies can make Mario and Luigi trip. If a Mario Bro. trips, they will make a noise and they will shake until it is their turn. This status effect also prevents the player from fleeing and using Bros. attacks unless the tripped brother has high enough speed to move first. This status effect cannot be cured with a Refreshing Herb in the first 2 Mario and Luigi games.
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, if an enemy hits the rear brother, the brother will begin the battle with this condition, although if the brother is fast enough, the condition is instantly negated. Since Mario and Luigi cannot switch in the subsequent games (Luigi is always in the back), enemies make Mario or Luigi trip if they hit him in the rear.
In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the Gold Beanie will trip if the attacks are countered correctly.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is a random chance that players can trip if they attempt to initiate a ground-based move such as ground attacks or running. Once players trip, they can get up normally, by rolling, or with a weak attack. Banana peels and Tingle (spawned with an Assist Trophy) can induce tripping, however, and some moves have a random chance to trip the player. Random tripping is removed in the next Super Smash Bros. game, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
