The Spin Strike is an enhanced version of a stomp that appears in Super Mario Run. It is performed by tapping the screen while near and above an enemy. The playable character stomps on that enemy without having to land on them, then jumps while spinning. If this jump reaches the maximum height, then the user ends that jump with a split. If not, then the spin continues as the user descends but ends quickly. Despite the name, the Spin Strike has no relation to the Midair Spin. Characters who cannot Midair Spin can still use the Spin Strike. Luigi's scuttle and Peach's Floaty Jump override the split animation.

In short, a Spin Stirke extends the reach of a normal stomp. Note that this is being done without moving the player over the stomped enemy, meaning the Spin Strike can make the player miss items like coins placed directly above that enemy when performed early. The Spin Strike cannot be used on objects or on enemies that cannot be stomped. (Boom Boom appears to take damage from the increased range, but this does not prompt the spinning animation.) The Spin Strike can be used to stomp enemies while in a Slope Slide, a state where characters normally defeat enemies without stomping them.

Spin Strikes are stylish moves, and thus produce blue stars that contribute to starting a Coin Rush.

The Spin Strike has one use case aside from being a stylish move and stomping while sliding. Koopa Shells and Buzzy Shells are easier to stomp on multiple times in succession using this move. It also allows one to stomp on resting shells, as in Super Mario Run kicking takes priority over stomping in regards to them.
