This thread is blowing my mind... There needs to be a similar thread for all the Donkey Kong Country 1/2/3 glitches <3

You can do this in Mario Maker as well. It's a pretty important trick in some user created levels.And I found this while looking for them, never knew about it:
Also, since it was bottom-paged:
From SupperMarioBroth:
In Super Mario World, Mario can fly through stairs. As long as he is moving upwards as he is passing the stairs, he will go right through.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaa.....
Does this also work in the GBA version? Or just SNES?

Oh, that's why this doesn't blow my mind as it should. I think I did this a couple of time when I first played, but I thought it was a glitch.
The double kick gif breaks my mind every time I see it posted though.

After reading this thread, it's like I never really played Super Mario.
What else don't we know?!

I knew about the Big Boo and the Green Bubble. Me and a friend discovered it by accident back in the day. It can also be done with the fireballs Iggy and Larry spit at you.
The saw one, though? That's new to me.
Another trick is throwing an item upwards and then grab it while climbing a vine.

What is happening?
Less surprising stuff that shocked me a few years ago:
What is happening?
The shoe doesn't touch the pipe and jumps in mid air?
Doubtful, as Mario Maker doesn't have slopes.

Im surprised by the amount surprised gaffers, sliding kills nearly all enemies.....
You can kill fire and castle waffles by transforming to a statue as Tanooki Mario.
Might have been well known, I just didn't know about it despite beating the game a lot.

Holy shit I never knew this.
Mind blown.
What about the smaller boos?

Well, at 37 years old and playing Mario almost my entire life... I NEVER knew about any statue form in the tanooki suit.... Didn't know about the boo stair thing either.
Yeah, I think I've seen that before.
These though. Damn. That ain't right.
Except the Goomba Shoe air jump. I knew about that one.
In Super Mario World, if Yoshi licks up a P-Switch after it has been pressed and spits it out fast enough, a Cheep-Cheep will spawn alongside the P-Switch.

I consider SMW my favorite game of all time, and I did not know you could kill Boos that way. It is 7:30 AM and I am now questioning my entire existence.

It ruins the fun. You cheated.
You get no satisfaction for finding something hidden because you read it in a book.
Shame on cheaters
I knew about the statue (Yay instruction booklets!) but had no idea why it was useful. Then I saw a gif of someone turning into the statue in mid air to crush an enemy and that blew my mind.
The Valley Ghost House has some green floating bubbles that can also be killed while sliding. Same with the saw in some castles/fortresses.
GIFs of both have been posted through the thread.
Don't you actually need this at this point in the level? Or at least it's much easier this way to get to the part at the bottom. I think I remember doing that, and it certainly was in one of these guidebooks.

i keep reading the title as "Big Boss"
In the Funky level in Super Mario World, let the timer go below 100 so the music speeds up, then have Yoshi eat a Green Berry before the timer hits 80 so it goes above 100. Let the timer go below 100 again and the music will speed up again. You can do this multiple times so the music speeds up to super fast levels (although I think it caps at one point).

Hold up. You didn't know the tanooki suit could turn into a statue? What did you think the whole point of it was then? You never wondered how it differed from the Super Leaf?
This is honestly the most mind-blowing thing in this thread for me. Holy shit.
In Super Mario World, if you throw something like a key straight up, and then catch it while getting on Yoshi, you can carry the key while riding on Yoshi's back.
My brothers and I actually found this independently when we wanted to see if it was possible after seeing the vine trick for carrying keys up one.
