Slopes are indestructible diagonal surfaces that appear in most Super Mario games. The player can slide down a slope if they push the down button.
History
Super Mario games
Both the gentle and steep slopes were introduced in World 1-2 of Super Mario Bros. 3. In Super Mario World, slopes that act like semisolids were introduced in Yoshi's Island 1.
Super Mario Maker 2
Slopes are a placeable part in Super Mario Maker 2. Slopes of both types are available in all styles, and it is found in the terrain section in the Course Maker. There are two different kinds of slopes: steep slopes and gentle slopes. When placed next to a ground tile, it makes a sound. The player can slide down slopes in all game styles except the Super Mario Bros. style, and get a speed boost if they ground-pound into the slope. Slopes are styled as stairs in the Super Mario 3D World game style in the Ghost House and Castle themes, but still have the same attributes as normal slopes.
Spike balls are affected by these slopes. When going up a slope, it will slow down and roll the other way if it doesn't reach the top. It slows down faster going up Steep Slope than a Gentle Slope. When going down a slope, however, it speeds up and moves faster. It speeds up faster in Steep Slopes than Gentle Slopes. The player can change a conveyor belt's height into one similar to a Steep Slope but not a Gentle Slope. If the player places many ON/OFF Trampolines inside a Steep Slope, the player and most enemies can walk on the slope as if it was a staircase.
