Double kick
The double kick[1] is an attack that can be done in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. This move is called the "double kick" because Mario (or Luigi) kicks an enemy twice during the attack. It can be used to defeat many enemies, and it can also be used to break crystals and activate Chance Cubes, Lever Switches, and gravity switches. However, it cannot break some Crates. To perform a double kick, Mario must run toward an enemy and spin when he gets close to the enemy. Then, near the end of his spin, Mario must perform a Long Jump by crouching quickly and jumping. Mario does a Long Jump, but he has a few sparkles around him, and he is able to defeat most enemies that are in his way. Mario must time the attack correctly for it to work. If he long-jumps at the beginning of the spin, he does a Spin Jump. If he long-jumps too late, he does a Long Jump. The double kick does damage only when Mario is rising; when he is in his falling animation, the double kick turns into a regular Long Jump and has no damaging effect. However, Mario can spin when he is falling to protect himself from getting hurt.
