'''Vaulting''' is a move that can be performed by [[Mario]] and the other playable characters in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', enabling them to automatically perform short [[jump]]s over certain basic obstacles. This can only be performed while on the ground. There are two different kinds of vaults that can be performed in the game. The first has the character push themselves over things that are one [[block]] tall, be they walls, objects, or enemies like [[Goomba]]s and [[Cannonball]]s. Enemies are halted as the player vaults over them. There are multiple animations for this kind of vaulting. The second kind has the player hop over small gaps that are at most two blocks wide. The jump has the character stretch their legs over the gap, though vaulting across one block wide gaps lacks an animation.  
'''Vaulting''' is a move that can be performed by [[Mario]] and the other playable characters in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. It is performed when the player moves into a small pit or a short wall or a small enemy at [[Small Mario]]'s level like [[Goomba]]s and [[Cannonball]]s. The player automatically [[jump]]s over the obstacle or enemy. If the object in question is a wall or enemy, the player character uses their arms to give them the boost. There are multiple animations for vaulting. Enemies are temporarily halted as the player vaults over them.  


Vaulting over obstacles and enemies is a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|stylish move]]. Using it produces blue stars that contribute to starting a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|Coin Rush]] in the Toad Rally mode. Vaulting across gaps does not have this effect.
If the player taps the screen while vaulting, they will perform a [[Vaulting Jump|vaulting jump]], allowing the player to defeat the enemy that they are vaulting over while performing a high jump. Timing matters, as the starting position of the jump is based upon when the player begins the Vaulting Jump.


If the player taps the screen while vaulting over obstacles or enemies they will perform a [[Vaulting Jump|vaulting jump]] off the obstacle or enemy. Vaulting Jumps additionally defeat the enemy, if applicable. Timing matters, as the starting position of the jump is based upon when the player begins the Vaulting Jump.
The player can perform a vault while near the ground, not necessarily while running on the ground. This means a chain of consecutive [[stomp]]s can be kept with well placed vaults, and than the player can vault backward over objects by [[Wall Jump|wall jumping]] toward them. The speed of a vault is dependent on the player's speed when it started. Vaulting over objects or enemies cannot be done consecutively. This is such that the player can vault over multiple obstacles or enemies in a row, but cannot climb staircases like the [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Final Stairs]] by vaulting up. If the object was a wall, the player stands behind it.

This means a chain of consecutive [[stomp]]s can be kept with well placed vaults, and that the player can vault backward over objects by [[Wall Jump|wall jumping]] toward them. The player has to be facing whatever they are vaulting over. The speed of a vault is dependent on the player's speed when it started. Taking damage temporarily prevents the player from vaulting. This is based off "mercy invincibility", and therefore extends to leaving a [[bubble]] after being defeated. Vaulting over objects or enemies cannot be done consecutively. This is such that the player can vault over multiple obstacles or enemies in a row, but cannot climb to the top of a staircase like the [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Final Stairs]] solely by vaulting up. One can vault over consecutive gaps.
 
When vaulting across gaps, the player can successfully cross a one or two block wide gap. Three blocks wide is too far, but the player will try to vault. They will end below the target platform, requiring [[Edge Climbing]] on the opposite side's wall to get up. The player will not vault over four block wide gaps at all.


Enemies with shells such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Buzzy Beetle]]s enter their shells while being vaulted over, and a Vaulting Jump is an alternate means of kicking their shell. Enemies that cannot be [[stomp]]ed can never be vaulted over. [[Koopa Shell]]s and [[Buzzy Shell]]s cannot be vaulted over: a stationary shell is kicked, while a moving shell inflicts damage and is kicked if it does not defeat the player. [[Invincible Mario|Invincible characters]] cannot vault on enemies because the invincibility defeats the enemy first.

In a [[Ghost House|Ghost house]] interior, most characters move so slowly that they cannot vault over gaps. [[Toad]] still can, since he moves faster than other characters. Moving off a [[Pause Block]] pointing to the right accelerates the character just fast enough to perform a vault over a gap.
The [[Spin Strike]] can loosely be considered an aerial equivalent to vaulting, as it makes interacting with enemies easier like vaulting does.
