Press {{control|{{snes|Left|Dpad}}|{{gc|Left|Dpad}}/{{gc|Left|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Left|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Left|Lstick}}|{{gb|Left|Dpad}}}} or {{control|{{snes|Right|Dpad}}|{{gc|Right|Dpad}}/{{gc|Right|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Right|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Right|Lstick}}|{{gb|Right|Dpad}}}} to walk left or right, respectively.

To run left or right (respectively) press the {{control|{{snes|Left|Dpad}}|{{gc|Left|Dpad}}/{{gc|Left|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Left|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Left|Lstick}}|{{gb|Left|Dpad}}}} or {{control|{{snes|Right|Dpad}}|{{gc|Right|Dpad}}/{{gc|Right|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Right|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Right|Lstick}}|{{gb|Right|Dpad}}}} and press {{control|{{snes|X}} or {{snes|Y}}|{{gc|X}} or {{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|X}} or {{wii-cc|y}}|{{gb|B}}}}. When Mario (or Luigi) reaches top speed he will spread his arms out.

Mario (or Luigi) and Yoshi jump if you press {{control|{{snes|B}}|{{gc|B}}|{{wii-cc|B}}|{{gb|A}}}}. Jump is probably the move that you will be using the most throughout the game. Most enemies can be defeated by jumping on them. The faster Mario is running the higher he jumps.

Mario (or Luigi) and Yoshi jump equally high. However, Yoshi's jumps are as powerful as Mario's (or Luigi's) spin jump, but do not break yellow bricks. Yoshi can also jump on certain enemies, such as Blargg, that Mario (or Luigi) must spin jump on or get hit. Like Mario (or Luigi), Yoshi jumps higher if he is running faster.

With a cape, when running at full speed, jump and Mario (or Luigi) will begin to fly.

While flying, hold back away from the direction Mario (or Luigi) is moving to drift.  Mario (or Luigi) will hold onto his cape and his descent will slow.  Pushing forward will speed up his fall, while tapping back will allow you to cruise for extended periods of time.  If timed correctly, it is possible to crawl up the screen using this technique.

Press {{control|{{snes|A}}|{{gc|A}}|{{wii-cc|A}}|{{gb|R}}}} to spin jump. Spin jumps are not as high as normal jumps, but they are more powerful. If Mario (or Luigi) is not small, he can break yellow bricks using his spin jump. Mario (or Luigi) can also spin jump on top of certain enemies that would injure him if he landed on them otherwise.

The faster Mario (or Luigi) runs the higher he will spin jump. A spin jump at top speed is slightly higher than a normal jump standing still.

If a large (i.e. super, fire or cape) Mario (or Luigi) spin jumps and lands on Yoshi while Yoshi is standing on yellow bricks, Yoshi will break the bricks. Spin jump to get off of Yoshi.

To get on Yoshi, jump ({{control|{{snes|B}}|{{gc|B}}|{{wii-cc|B}}|{{gb|A}}}}) on his back. To get off Yoshi press {{control|{{snes|A}}|{{gc|A}}|{{wii-cc|A}}|{{gb|R}}}}.

First, Mario (or Luigi) must be on Yoshi.

# Jump ({{control|{{snes|B}}|{{gc|B}}|{{wii-cc|B}}|{{gb|A}}}}) while on Yoshi, and then

# While still in the air, dismount {{control|{{snes|A}}|{{gc|A}}|{{wii-cc|A}}|{{gb|R}}}}.

Mario (or Luigi) can climb a fence, vine or rope by coming near the fence, vine or rope and pressing {{control|{{snes|Up|Dpad}}|{{gc|Up|Dpad}}/{{gc|Up|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Up|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Up|Lstick}}|{{gb|Up|Dpad}}}}. To get off, jump by pressing {{control|{{snes|B}}|{{gc|B}}|{{wii-cc|B}}|{{gb|A}}}}.

While climbing a fence, Mario (or Luigi) can punch by pressing {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}. If the punch hits a Koopa on the other side of the fence, the Koopa will die. If Mario (or Luigi) punches a door in the fence, he will flip over to the other side of the fence. If Mario (or Luigi) climbs across the head of a Koopa that is climbing the same side of the fence he is, Mario (or Luigi) will kill the Koopa. If, however, he touches the neck or the shell, Mario (or Luigi) will get hurt.

To enter a door press {{control|{{snes|Up|Dpad}}|{{gc|Up|Dpad}}/{{gc|Up|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Up|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Up|Lstick}}|{{gb|Up|Dpad}}}}.

# To carry an item: Approach it and press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}. In Super Mario World for SNES, and possibly other consoles, the {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} button must be held down. Simply approach, or even land on, an object while holding down {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}, and Mario (or Luigi) will pick it up and carry the object as long as you hold down {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}.

# To throw the object straight ahead of you (useful for wiping out a line of enemies): Press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} again. In Super Mario World for SNES, and possibly other consoles as well, the {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} button must be released, since you've already been holding it down the entire time you're carrying the object.

# To set an item down gently, without throwing it (which at least works on SNES console): Press and hold down {{control|{{snes|Down|Dpad}}|{{gc|Down|Dpad}}/{{gc|Down|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Down|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Down|Lstick}}|{{gb|Down|Dpad}}}} , and then release {{control|{{snes|X}} or {{snes|Y}}|{{gc|X}} or {{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|X}} or {{wii-cc|y}}|{{gb|B}}}}.

# To throw an item upwards (useful for hitting blocks or enemies high up in the air, which at least works on SNES console): Press and hold {{control|{{snes|Up|Dpad}}|{{gc|Up|Dpad}}/{{gc|Up|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Up|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Up|Lstick}}|{{gb|Up|Dpad}}}} , and then release {{control|{{snes|X}} or {{snes|Y}}|{{gc|X}} or {{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|X}} or {{wii-cc|y}}|{{gb|B}}}}.

'''Important:''' The overturned and squished enemies that Mario (or Luigi) can carry will eventually fix themselves. If Mario (or Luigi) is still holding them when this happens, he will get hit.

Yoshi can eat certain objects, such as Koopa shells and mega mole. Most of these (e.g. mega mole) he will instantly swallow. Those he does not instantly swallow (e.g. Koopa shells, keys) he will carry in his mouth for sometime and can spit out. To eat an object press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}. To spit out an object press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} again. Spitting out a object is equivalent to throwing it.

Yoshi can eat more objects than Mario (or Luigi) can carry. However, because Yoshi instantly swallows most of these, Mario (or Luigi) can throw more objects than Yoshi can spit.

However, with Koopa shells, which Yoshi does ''not'' instantly swallow, you can set them down gently, without throwing them. To make Yoshi set an item down without throwing it (which at least works on SNES console), press and hold {{control|{{snes|Down|Dpad}}|{{gc|Down|Dpad}}/{{gc|Down|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Down|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Down|Lstick}}|{{gb|Down|Dpad}}}} , and then press or release {{control|{{snes|X}} or {{snes|Y}}|{{gc|X}} or {{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|X}} or {{wii-cc|y}}|{{gb|B}}}}. This will cause you to set the item down gently.  Helpful if Yoshi's about to swallow the shell, but you want to keep it without throwing it!
