Spinjump

The "spin jump" is a move that can be performed by Mario, Luigi and Toad.

History

The spin jump first appeared in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, where Mario could perform the move once he was in his "super" form. Since then, it has appeared in many games, most notably in Super Mario World and the console releases of the New Super Mario Bros. series (starting with New Super Mario Bros. Wii). The move has also been featured in various RPG-games within the Mario franchise.

The various iterations (excluding the ones in the RPGs) function more or less the same though.

In Super Mario Bros. X

In Super Mario Bros. X, the move works exactly the same as in Super Mario World.

If you are playing as either Toad, Mario or Luigi and you're also in their big form, they can break certain blocks by spin jumping on them. When they're small, this won't work however.

Advantages	Additional notes
You can break certain blocks.
Protects you from damage from some enemies, like Spineys.
Can instantly take out some enemies that usually take two hits, e.g. Paragoombas.
