'''Dashing''' is a standard move in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] that allows a character to run faster than normal.

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and their friends can dash when the player holds {{button|b}}, {{button|x}}, or {{button|y}} and/or uses {{button|pad}}/{{button|stick}} (depending on the game and/or control setup), letting them run over small [[pit]]s. The playable characters can also [[jump]] farther and/or higher than normal while dashing. After running for a while, they sprint and reach their top speed; this move is called a '''Super Dash''' in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', and the respective style in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', each of the playable characters is capable of sprinting at different speeds after running for a while (or grabbing an object in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''); the sprint quickness also varies in ''Super Mario 3D World'', being inversely proportional to one's top speed (the faster runners take longer to sprint, and vice-versa). Additionally, the [[Cat Mario|Cat form]] lets one sprint quicker than normal. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the playable characters can also "charge up" a dash (when the player holds the run button while the characters stand still) to take off at top speed.

Three-dimensional sandbox games of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] (excluding ''Super Mario 64 DS'') traditionally do not have dash buttons, instead using the distance the Control Stick is pushed to determine speed of movement. ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' is another exception. Mario does not have a dedicated dash button, unless he is in an 8-bit area. Many of the characters he can [[capture]] to control do dash when the {{button|switch|y}} button is held, and some have dash-like actions performed by shaking the controller.

''[[Super Mario Run]]'' does not allow the player to control their movement speed, as they run forward automatically. However, when movement speed is increased by various means, such as during a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|Coin Rush]], being [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], or while running down a [[slope]], the player's animation switches to the "hands stretched behind them" version. [[Toad]], due to naturally being faster than all other characters, uses this animation most of the time. One-block-wide gaps are instead passed over via [[vaulting]].

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
{{main|Spin Dash}}
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Mario is able to dash by using the Spin Dash, performed by pressing {{button|n64|z}}. Several [[Badge]]s can be used to grant this move additional effects.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', [[Dashell]] can let the [[party member]]s dash when the player holds {{Button|wii|1}}, in a similar fashion as the 2D games of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Dashing is a key form of movement in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], having more utility than simply walking. Characters can also perform an attack while dashing, specifically called the dash attack. In the first five games, only up smashes, grabs, and special moves can be used out of a dash; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', however, all ground attacks can be used out of a dash. All characters have an '''initial dash''': This form of movement is usually very fast and short-distanced, and continuing to tap the Control Stick results in the initial dash either accelerating or decelerating into the character's consistent running speed.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
{{main|Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Mario and Luigi learn a [[Bros. Move|Bros. Action]] named Dash. By igniting Luigi with Mario's [[Firebrand]], the two can move very quickly in a straight line.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Mario, Luigi, and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] gain the ability to dash with the [[Dash Socks]]. They can dash when the player holds {{button|3ds|X}} after a [[Team Jump]]. They can bloom [[Spinny Flower]]s for [[coin]]s, use catapults, and [[Slide (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|catch characters that run from them]], such as [[Paper Toad]]s and [[Nabbit]]. Dashing into enemies initiates a [[First Strike]], in which the trio dashes into the enemy from the field on the battle screen. Unlike with other forms of First Strikes, only that enemy is affected instead of all enemies. If that enemy has spikes, it negates this First Strike.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', after Mario collects a [[Super Mushroom]] before attacking [[Bowser]]'s minions with [[Donkey Kong]], he dashes with his arms stuck out behind his back like in his dashing animation in several games of the ''Super Mario'' series.<ref>Illumination (March 9, 2023).
