The Handstand is a special move that Mario uses in Donkey Kong for the Game Boy and Mario vs. Donkey Kong. He can do so by jumping while crouching. 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 barbells. In the Nintendo Switch remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Toad can also perform this move, which allows him to pass through gaps only the Mini-Marios 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 A Button 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 A Button, he does a pose. This Stylish move is done to earn a quarter to half of a full circle of Star Power.
