The '''slide''' (sometimes called '''sliding down a slope'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1990|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=12|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and also called the '''Slide Attack'''<ref>{{cite|date=June 1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=14}}</ref> and '''Slope Slide'''<ref>[[:File:SMR Tips and Tricks Slope Slide.jpg|''Super Mario Run'' Tips and Tricks]] (screenshot)</ref>) is a move triggered by [[crouch]]ing on a slope. In 2D ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' platformers, it is generally used to increase the character's momentum or to knock out enemies that stand in the way. The player can also slide in 3D platformers, although in most of them, it is automatically triggered upon the player landing on a steep slope and is intended to keep the player from accessing certain areas, rather than as a form of attack.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:SMR - Slope Slide.png|thumb|left|140px|Mario sliding down a slope in ''Super Mario Run'']]
The slide first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and reappears in many ''Mario'' games. The character sits and slides down the hill while gaining speed (they go even faster on icy slopes); they are invincible to most enemies while sliding, though they become vulnerable again upon the character stopping. Also, characters can do a midair [[jump]] by sliding into midair and jumping.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Frog Mario]] and [[Hammer Mario]] cannot normally slide; however, the latter can slide if [[Mario]] grabs a [[Hammer Suit]] while sliding.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', it is also possible to slide up a hill by crouching while [[dash|running]] up one. [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|Unshelled Koopas]] are also capable of sliding against Mario.

As of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', sliding has the same point chain as [[Invincible Mario]].

''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' is the first 3D platformer to implement sliding as a form of attack. This move also appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', where it acts the same way as in the original game.

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', when the player lands (as in, from the air) on a slope and is facing in the direction of it, they slide automatically. Sliding can be stopped either by using a non-jump move, including a [[Spin Strike]], or by slowing down enough from flat terrain or upward sloped surfaces. [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s cannot [[Flutter Jump|flutter-jump]] during a Slope Slide, and therefore cannot stop sliding as easily as everyone else.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the characters can slide on slopes in every style but ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', as the move was introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. As of version 3.0.0, Frog Mario can slope-slide.

===''Super Princess Peach''===

In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', [[Princess Peach]] can perform two different slide forms: Slide and '''Hill Slide'''. With Slide, Peach can slide on a flat surface by squatting while running, which can strike low-lying foes and crush blocks. With Hill Slide, she can slide off a slope by squatting on the slope of the hill.

===''Wario Land'' series===
In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', and ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', the player can press {{button|Paddown}} while [[Wario]] is on a slope to make him slide down on it, which segues into him [[roll]]ing until he hits a wall. In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', slopes automatically send Wario sliding on his belly without making him roll, defeating enemies on his way.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', and ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', steep slopes cause the [[Mini]]s to slide down uncontrollably. Sliding can sometimes be used to attack enemies, such as [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Pokey]]s, and [[Cursed Mini Mario]]s, or destroy fragile [[Rock (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)|rock]]s. Slopes of any material (ground or [[Red Girder]]) can also attenuate long-distance falls, making the toy slide against the slope's surface instead of breaking on contact. In general, Minis cannot climb uphill slopes, and they will instead turn in the other direction shortly after they encounter one; however, [[Mini Donkey Kong|Mini DK]]'s [[Quick Climb]] ability in ''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge'' allows the toy to run up slopes of any angle.
