| colspan=5 | ''Nintendo 64 version:'' There are two modes of moving, walking and running. The more the control stick tilts away from the center, the more the character moves faster; the opposite is also true.

| colspan=5 | ''Nintendo DS version:'' The run button was added due to the limitations of the d-pad in that it cannot alter movement speed between walking and running.

| colspan=5 | After jumping, press the jump button again when landing on the floor. Press a third time for a triple jump. Press when facing a wall to wall jump (only Mario can wall jump in the DS version). With the Wing Cap, this action will launch Mario into the air.

| colspan=5 | Jump button must be pressed while making a U-turn. Very difficult to perform this move in the Nintendo DS version.

| colspan=5 | If the button is pressed in mid air, a ground pound will be performed. if the analogue stick or d pad is tilted in a direction, the character will start crawling.

| colspan=5 | If the analogue stick or d pad is tilted in a direction and Mario/Luigi/Wario is running, they will perform a dive. If the button is pressed while Mario/Luigi/Wario is in the air, this will be a kick. Yoshi cannot punch, dive or kick, he will instead stick his tongue out.

Wii U VC configuration: It's basically the same as the Classic Controller with the {{wiiu|ZL}} and {{wiiu|ZR}} on the backs instead of the top middle. In addition, for the N64 version you're allowed to configure the controls with the exception of the {{wiiu|neutral|dpad}}. You can access the Virtual Console menu by touching the Wii U Gamepad screen.

The best recommendation in setting up the N64 controls follows like this:
