Dive: Difference between revisions

Mario is able to dive in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. The move is now performed by holding {{button|switch|zl}} and pressing {{button|switch|y}} after jumping. It can thus be done at the start of a Ground Pound in midair.<ref>{{cite|language=en-gb|author=SuperMario_UK|date=September 21, 2017|url=x.com/SuperMario_UK/status/910805827300106241|title=The Dive allows you to fling yourself forward in midair, so you can get a tiny bit of extra distance.|publisher=X|accessdate=August 6, 2024}}</ref> Unlike in ''Super Mario 64''  and ''Super Mario Sunshine'', however, Mario jumps in a small arc instead of just falling, and he does not slide upon landing. Instead, Mario starts rolling with the momentum of his dive if {{button|switch|zl}} continues to be pressed. The distance traveled with each use is also set as opposed to depending on Mario's momentum, presumably to make diving into [[Cappy]] work more consistently. Using this move underwater lets Mario perform a [[Quick Swim]], which mimics the [[swim]]ming physics of ''Super Mario 64'' up to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
