The '''Handstand''' is a [[List of special moves|special move]] that [[Mario]] uses in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. Mario can use this move to perform a '''Handstand Jump''' and, when timed upon landing, a '''Handstand Double Jump''' to easily get to high places. The handstand can also be used to harmlessly kick overheard objects, such as [[Nitpicker]] eggs and [[Brickman]] bricks.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' the [[OrangStand]] handstand is mastered by [[Lanky Kong]] and learned from one of [[Cranky Kong]]s potions. [[OrangStand Sprint]], his barrel move, also includes him using a handstand, but at high speed.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Koops]] can do another kind of handstand as a [[Stylish Move]] called a spinning handstand. It can only be done by doing [[Power Shell]] or [[Shell Slam]]; the player must press {{button|gcn|A}} within 0.2 of a second when Koops returns to his original position after doing Power Shell or Shell Slam. When Koops spins for 1-2 seconds and the player presses {{button|gcn|A}}, he will do a pose. This Stylish Move is done to earn a quarter to half of a full circle of a [[Star Power]].
