Somersault[edit]

Should this be merged with somersault? Because they seem to basically be the same thing.....particularly as the backwards somersault is a backflip, and the seems to be performed in the same way as a sideways somersault in the Donkey Kong-based games.

I agree. They're both the same move so I don't see why they should remain separate. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 06:12, 11 April 2018 (EDT)

Is there something I'm not understanding here? Back flips move you backwards, and somersaults move you side ways, and they are activated in different ways, so I don't really understand how they can really be related that much. --User:LewisCat28 22:26, July 1, 2021 (EDT)
