Mario's moveset is incredibly versatile. Mastering these core abilities is essential for navigating the world:
- Jump: Standard jump, long jump, triple jump, backflip, side somersault. Each has specific uses for reaching different heights and distances.
- Ground Pound: Jump and press ZL/ZR to quickly descend, breaking certain blocks or stunning enemies.
- Roll: Crouch (ZL/ZR) and then move to roll, useful for speed and dodging.
- Wall Jump: Jump against a wall and then jump again to climb.
- Dive: While running, throw Cappy (Y/X) and then press ZL/ZR to dive forward, extending your jump.
- Cap Jump: Throw Cappy (Y/X), then jump on him (A/B) to get an extra bounce.
- Cappy Spin Attack: Shake the Joy-Cons or perform a spin jump (Z+A/B) to make Cappy spin around Mario, damaging nearby enemies.
Combining these moves allows for advanced platforming and combat strategies.
