The '''Backward Somersault''' (or '''backward somersault'''), also referred to as the '''Backflip'''<ref>Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' American English Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] digital manual, tab 3: "Controls".</ref> (or '''back-flip''')<ref>Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' instruction booklet, page 10.</ref> and '''Crouch Jump''' on the official ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' website, in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' manual,<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/manual-WiiU-Super_Mario_3D-World.pdf ''Super Mario 3D World'' manual], pg 17.</ref> and in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', is an advanced type of [[jump]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. The player can perform it by pressing {{button|gb|A}} while moving and pressing {{button|gb|pad}} in the opposite direction. Backflips allow [[Mario]] to quickly reach higher [[platform]]s. They require movement to execute them, so they cannot be performed on small platforms easily. The move can also be performed in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' in the same way.
