The '''Handstand''' is a [[list of moves|special move]] that [[Mario]] uses in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]] and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. He can do so by [[jump]]ing while [[crouch]]ing. 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 (by jumping upon landing). Mario can also do a '''Handstand Walk''' to travel slowly on his hands. Both the Handstand and Handstand Walk have the effect of harmlessly deflecting certain overhead hazards, such as [[Nitpicker]] eggs, [[Brickman]] bricks, and [[barbell]]s. In the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]] of ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', [[Toad]] can also perform this move, which allows him to pass through gaps only the [[Mini-Mario]]s can fit in otherwise.

[[Lanky Kong]] can use two handstand moves in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[OrangStand]] and [[OrangStand Sprint]], the latter making him move at a high speed.

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