The '''Slide''' (sometimes called '''sliding down a slope'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet, page 12.</ref> and also called '''Slide Attack'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 14.</ref> and '''Slope Slide'''<ref>https://twitter.com/eeveebeingcute/status/1078670382650048513</ref>) is a move triggered by [[crouch]]ing on a slope. In 2D ''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 landing on a steep slope and is intended to keep the player from accessing certain areas, rather than as a form of attack.
