A '''Double Kick''' is an attack that can be done in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its sequel, ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. It can be used to defeat many enemies and use certain items. To do this, Mario must run toward an enemy and [[spin]] when he gets close to the enemy. Then, near the end of his spin, Mario must perform a [[long jump]] by crouching quickly and jumping. Mario will do a long jump, but he will have a few sparkles around him, and when he is rising, he will be able to defeat most enemies that are in his way. This is not shown in the instruction booklet, but it is shown in a video in the [http://www.supermariogalaxy.com/#/how-to-play/basics-how-to Super Mario Galaxy 2 Official Website].

This move is called the "double kick" because [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) [[kick]]s an enemy twice during the attack. It can be used to defeat many enemies, and it can also be used to break [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|crystal]]s and activate [[Chance Cube]]s, [[Lever Switch]]es, and [[gravity switch]]es. However, it cannot break some [[Crate]]s. To perform a double kick, Mario must [[dash|run]] toward an enemy and [[spin]] when he gets close to the enemy.

Mario does a Long Jump, but he has a few sparkles around him, and he is able to defeat most enemies that are in his way. Mario must time the attack correctly for it to work. If he long-jumps at the beginning of the spin, he does a [[Spin Jump]]. If he long-jumps too late, he does a Long Jump. The double kick does damage only when Mario is rising; when he is in his falling animation, the double kick turns into a regular Long Jump and has no damaging effect. However, Mario can spin when he is falling to protect himself from getting hurt.


Mario must time the attack right for it to work. If he long jumps at the beginning of the spin, he will do a [[spin jump]]. If he long jumps too late, he will just do a long jump. However, if Mario can time it correctly, the double kick can be a very helpful move. Mario can use it to instantly defeat [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]], [[Boomerang Bro.|Boomerang Bros.]], [[Goomba]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, and all varieties of [[Octoomba]]s, just to name a few. It can also break [[Item Crystal]]s and activate [[Chance Cube]]s, [[Lever]]s, and [[Gravity Arrow]]s. However, it cannot break [[Crates]]. The Double Kick can also make [[Speedy Comet|speedrunning]] faster, as it is a way to hit enemies and move quickly at the same time.

Mario performing a double kick to defeat a Hammer Bro in Super Mario Galaxy 2

The double kick[1] is an attack that can be done in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. This move is called the "double kick" because Mario (or Luigi) kicks an enemy twice during the attack. It can be used to defeat many enemies, and it can also be used to break crystals and activate Chance Cubes, Lever Switches, and gravity switches. However, it cannot break some Crates. To perform a double kick, Mario must run toward an enemy and spin when he gets close to the enemy. Then, near the end of his spin, Mario must perform a Long Jump by crouching quickly and jumping. Mario does a Long Jump, but he has a few sparkles around him, and he is able to defeat most enemies that are in his way. Mario must time the attack correctly for it to work. If he long-jumps at the beginning of the spin, he does a Spin Jump. If he long-jumps too late, he does a Long Jump. The double kick does damage only when Mario is rising; when he is in his falling animation, the double kick turns into a regular Long Jump and has no damaging effect. However, Mario can spin when he is falling to protect himself from getting hurt.
