Super Mario World/Controls

This page is for all of the possible moves and combinations Mario and Luigi can do.

Jump
You can jump with (B). This is probably the move that you will be using the most throughout the game. Most enemies can be defeated by jumping on them.

Spin jump
Press (A) to spin jump. You won't jump so high, but you can defeat some enemies that can not be defeated by regular jumps. If you are on Yoshi, you can spin jump to dismount him.

Running jump
A very powerful move to get an extra boost is the running jump. To do this, run forward (X or Y), and then jump (B). You do not have to run very long. This can also speed up your jump, descending or ascending, along with the direction you are heading.

Yoshi double-jump
First, Mario or Luigi must be on Yoshi. Jump (B) while on Yoshi, and then dismount (A). You will be able to jump twice the normal height. You can jump even higher with this technique using a spring-board.
