| '''Back Flips''' can be performed by [[Mario]] in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. The player can do Back Flips by pressing A while moving and pressing the D-Pad into the opposite direction. Back Flips allow Mario to quickly reach higher platforms. They reach higher than [[High Jump]]s, but require movement to execute them, so they cannot be done on small platforms easily.

| A '''Flip''' (also known as '''Crouch Jump''' in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'') is an advanced type of [[jump]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It can only be done in the 3-D platformers. The Somersault travels much higher than a regular jump, so it can be used to reach high places. However, the Somersault expends slightly more time than other forms of jumping. As of now, only [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], and [[Yoshi]] can use this move. There are two different varieties: the '''Back-flip''' and the '''Side-flip'''.

| {{anchor|Backwards Somersault}}The '''Back-flip''' is one variety of Flip. To do this, the character must crouch and then jump. The character flips over in midair, moving backwards. The character may chain it to a [[Ground Pound]]. The character can also control the backwards horizontal distance by holding back on the Control Stick. In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario cannot crouch, but he can do it only if he sprays water, then lets go of the pump while jumping. Doing so creates a blast of water. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Luigi can perform this move by crouching and pressing the Jump button; when performing this move, Luigi spins to slow his descent afterward. This move is also present in [[Donkey Kong 64]], where it is preformed with the same buttons as Super Mario 64. The kongs must use this move to reach high places that they can not reach with a normal jump.
