| [[File:Mario Crouch NSMB2.png|frame|Artwork of [[Mario]] crouching from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'']] | | The '''crouch''' or '''duck''' move has been used in almost every [[Mario]] platformer. To use it, the player must simply press {{button|Paddown}} or {{button|n64|Z}}/{{button|wii|Z}}. If the player releases {{button|Paddown}} or {{button|n64|Z}}/{{button|wii|Z}}, he or she will go back to standing position. It is used to duck under projectiles and slide under walls while moving. They can chain it to a [[Somersault]] or [[Long Jump (move)|Long Jump]] while dashing; ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' is an exception, as Mario can perform a Somersault, but he cannot crouch or Long Jump. If Mario or [[Luigi]] use it at the same time as a [[jump]] in side-scrollers, they can jump while still crouching. This can be utilized to get into one-block tall holes. It can also be used within these tunnels to move slightly with each jump, but if the player releases the down button, the character performing it will automatically go towards the opposite direction they are facing. [[Small Mario]] can only crouch in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Also in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', if the player stays still in crouch position for a small period of time, the character will start to flash and can jump higher (once per charge). This ability is called the [[Power Squat Jump]]. This can also be done in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. |
| '''Crouching''' or '''ducking''' is a move that has been used in almost every ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' game. To do so, the player must simply press {{button|Paddown}} in 2D games or a shoulder button ({{button|wii|Z}}, {{button|3ds|L}}, {{button|3ds|R}}, {{button|wiiu|ZL}}, or {{button|wiiu|ZR}} depending on the system) in 3D games. If the player releases the button, characters return to their standing position. It is used to duck under projectiles and [[slide]] under walls while moving. Crouching in midair has the player perform a [[Ground Pound]] instead (except while riding [[Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' or [[Capture|capturing]] an object/enemy in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''). | |

|
| [[Jump]]ing while crouching in 3D games lets the player do a [[Backward Somersault]] in place or [[Long Jump]] while [[dash]]ing; ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' is an exception, as [[Mario]] can perform a Backward Somersault, but he cannot crouch or long-jump.
| | In some games, such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', attempting to move while in a crouch allows the character to '''crawl''' (Only a number of characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' can do this, however). This generally has no advantage. |

|
| If characters jump while crouching in 2D games, ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', they can jump while still crouching. This can be utilized to get into one-block-tall holes. It can also be used within these tunnels to move slightly with each jump, but if the player releases the crouch button, the character performing it automatically goes towards the opposite direction they are facing. [[Small Mario|Small characters]] can crouch only in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games, ''Super Mario 3D Land'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (in the ''Super Mario World'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' styles only), ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.

| In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', crouching for a small period of time charges up characters so they can jump higher (once per charge). This ability is called the [[Crouching High Jump|Power Squat Jump]]. The Backward Somersault in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style in ''Super Mario Maker 2'' operates similarly to this. This jump itself can be used in [[SMB2 Mario|SMB2 form]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style in ''Super Mario Maker 2''.

| Outside the ''Super Mario'' platform games, Mario is able to crouch in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], as well as in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]] through a small gap in a secret area in the [[Pipe Vault]] to collect a [[Frog Coin]] when {{button|paddown}}/{{button|switch|down}} is pressed while he runs towards the gap. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', [[Giant Luigi]] is able to crouch to dodge one of the [[Zeekeeper]]'s attacks.

| In most 3D games (such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]''), ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'',<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwyVmKZ7dwM スーパーマリオブラザーズ ワンダー CM ひとりでプレイ篇]</ref> and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', attempting to move while in a crouch allows the character to '''crawl''', which allows Mario to scale steep slopes and walk carefully on sloped surfaces. Only a number of characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series can do this. In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and ''Super Mario Odyssey'', the characters can also [[roll]] while crouching (by attacking while crouching), while in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Mario (and [[Luigi]], Yoshi, and [[Wario]] in the DS version) uses [[Sweep Kick]]s and [[Slide Kick]]s instead.
