Mario can [[capture|take control]] of Glydon to glide and dive. His dive is much faster and harder to steer than his glide. While gliding, shaking the Joy-Con or Pro Controller makes the captured Glydon stay airborne longer. However, when captured, Glydon cannot swim and simply disappears as soon as he touches water.<ref name="Glydonintroduction"/> On the other hand, Glydon cannot sink in quicksand; instead, he starts stomping whenever he stands on it whether he is being captured by Mario or not. A [[Power Moon]] in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], ''Lighthouse Leaper'', specifically requires the player to glide with Glydon from the top of the Lighthouse toward the Glass Palace and then talk to a [[Bubblainian]] near said palace.<ref name="Glydonintroduction"/> | Mario can [[capture|take control]] of Glydon to glide and dive.

His name is a portmanteau of "glide" and "-odon", a typical suffix used for animals (often reptiles, such as ''{{wp|Iguanodon}}'' and ''{{wp|Pteranodon}}'') distinguished or recognized through their teeth. | His name is a portmanteau of "glide" and "-odon", a typical suffix used for animals (often reptiles, such as ''{{wp|Iguanodon}}'' and ''{{wp|Pteranodon}}'') distinguished or recognized through their teeth (despite Glydon lacking any visible teeth). | ||
