'''Dashing''' is a standard move in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] which allows a character to run faster than normal. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and their friends can dash by holding {{button|b}}, {{button|x}}, or {{button|y}} and/or using the {{button|pad}} / {{button|stick}} (depending on the game and/or control setup), letting them run over small pits. They can also jump farther and/or higher than normal while dashing. After running for a while, they will sprint and reach their top speed; this move is called a '''Super Dash''' in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' and the respective style in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', each of the playable characters are capable of sprinting at different speeds after running for a while (or grabbing an object in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''); the sprint quickness also varies in ''Super Mario 3D World'', being inversely proportional to one's top speed (the faster runners take longer to sprint, and vice-versa). Additionally, the [[Cat Mario|Cat form]] lets one sprint quicker than normal. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the playable characters can also "charge up" a dash (by holding the run button while standing still) to take off at top speed.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Mario is able to dash by using the [[Spin Dash]], performed by pressing {{button|n64|z}}. The [[Speedy Spin|Speedy Spin badge]] makes him go even faster, the [[Dizzy Attack|Dizzy Attack badge]] lets him reflect enemy projectiles and make ran-into enemies [[dizzy]] at a battle's start, and the [[Spin Attack (badge)|Spin Attack badge]] lets him defeat weak enemies on the field with this move. Mario stops moving after the Spin Dash is done, though jumping right after performing the move relieves the lag. The move is used to avoid enemies and cross obstacles like conveyor belts.

It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

This article is about the move in general. For the move used by Twink in Paper Mario, see Dash (Paper Mario). For the special move in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, see Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga).

Dashing is a standard move in the Mario franchise which allows a character to run faster than normal. Mario, Luigi, and their friends can dash by holding B Button, X Button, or Y Button and/or using the +Control Pad / Control Stick (depending on the game and/or control setup), letting them run over small pits. They can also jump farther and/or higher than normal while dashing. After running for a while, they will sprint and reach their top speed; this move is called a Super Dash in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and the respective style in Super Mario Maker 2. In Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario 64 DS, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World, and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, each of the playable characters are capable of sprinting at different speeds after running for a while (or grabbing an object in Super Mario Bros. 2); the sprint quickness also varies in Super Mario 3D World, being inversely proportional to one's top speed (the faster runners take longer to sprint, and vice-versa). Additionally, the Cat form lets one sprint quicker than normal. In Super Mario 64 DS, the playable characters can also "charge up" a dash (by holding the run button while standing still) to take off at top speed.

In Paper Mario, Mario is able to dash by using the Spin Dash, performed by pressing Z Button. The Speedy Spin Badge makes him go even faster, the Dizzy Attack Badge lets him reflect enemy projectiles and make ran-into enemies dizzy at a battle's start, and the Spin Attack Badge lets him defeat weak enemies on the field with this move. Mario stops moving after the Spin Dash is done, though jumping right after performing the move relieves the lag. The move is used to avoid enemies and cross obstacles like conveyor belts.

In Super Paper Mario, Dashell can let the party members dash by holding One Button, in a similar fashion as the 2D Super Mario games.

Dashing is a key form of movement in the Super Smash Bros. series, having more utility than simply walking. Characters can also perform an attack while dashing, specifically called the dash attack; in the first five games, only up smashes, grabs, and special moves can be used out of a dash; in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, however, all ground attacks can be used out of a dash. All characters have an initial dash: this form of movement is usually very fast and short-distanced and, continuing to tap the control stick results in the initial dash either accelerating or decelerating into the character's consistent running speed.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario and Luigi can dash when they gain a new ability called Dash. This move can be used to dash past or through obstacles in a short time.

In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario gain the ability to dash with the Dash Socks. They can dash by holding X Button after a Team Jump. They can bloom Spinny Flowers for Coins, use catapults, and catch characters that run from them, like Paper Toads and Nabbit. Similar to Paper Mario, dashing into enemies initiates a First Strike in which the trio dashes into them on the battle screen.
