Mario Wall Jumping.

The Wall Jump is a move that Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Blue Toad or Yellow Toad can use in various games. In narrow passageways Mario and Luigi can use it to ascend to the top. They jump wall to wall with a little more height with each Jump. They can reach great heights, cross wide gaps, or save themselves from falling into a bottomless pit. In most games, the move can be done by pressing the jump button while sliding down a wall. It has been used in many platformer games. In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Mini Marios can Wall Jump on certain occasions, mostly on Wall Jump Bars.

The move first appeared in Super Mario 64 and later in the remake. It also appeared in Super Mario Sunshine and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Later, it made an appearance in Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat where Donkey Kong was shown being capable of using this move. The move later appeared in New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The move is also available as an unintended glitch in Super Mario Bros. If Mario lands on a wall on a 16x16 pixel boundary, the player is able to cause him to jump from the wall if they have frame-accurate timing.
