{{anchor|Side Somersault}}The '''Side Somersault''' (referred to as '''Side-flip''' by Prima Game Guides) is the other variety of Somersault. It is useful when the player wants to immediately jump high to reach high ledges. To use it, the character must run in one direction, then simultaneously turn to run in the other direction and jump. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Mario only needs to face in one direction and turn around; therefore, Mario could execute a Side Somersault with almost no space to move. [[Bowser]] uses it in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as one of his moves in the second battle against Mario. Also, in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Yoshi can Side Somersault.
