A '''Sweep Kick'''<ref>''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' instruction booklet, page 17</ref><ref name=NP>''[[Super Mario 64]] [[Nintendo Power]]'' Player's Guide, page 7</ref>, also called '''Trip'''<ref>''Super Mario 64'' instruction manual, page 15</ref><ref name=NP />, is one of [[Mario]]'s various moves that debuts in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. The action is performed by holding {{button|n64|Z}} and pressing {{button|n64|B}}, which causes Mario to swing his legs around in a circular motion. This kick can damage any surrounding enemies or breakable objects.

The move returns in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where Mario, [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] are able to perform the Sweep Kick. The move is activated by pressing the attack button while crouching, which are different buttons depending on the control setup. While Yoshi is able to perform the move, due to his low attack power, some enemies, such as [[Boo]]s, are impervious to the attack.

A similar, albeit unnamed, move can be performed by Mario and Luigi in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. While crouching with {{button|wii|Z}}, the player has to shake the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] or [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]]. Upon activating the move, the character will [[Spin]] while crouched. Likewise, the [[Roll#Tail Wag|Tail Wag]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' also acts similarly, though it is quicker, continuous, and can be used while moving.

The Sweep Kick also is used by Mario as his down smash attack in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' installments]] prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
