This Super Mario ability was actually a glitch

fun fact, Nintendo actually addressed this glitch in their Mario Encyclopedia

This just proves that nobody calls this move by it's actual name "Wall-Kick"
Wall-Jump just sounds more natural and representative then a kick on a wall

[soratomomyūjishan]

You can also reproduce it as Mini Mario in NSMB! It's a frame perfect jump and it makes you jump straight up instead of sideways like a normal wall jump

[DerrickJLive]

Wall jumps were a thing in video games way before Mario 64. Hard to say that glitch became a feature when there were a dozen Mario games between them that didn't feature it.

And now we have the exact glitch from Super Mario Bros but HD with Mario Wonder's wall climb badge

Doubt it was because the glitch because not only wall jump wasn't a new thing by 1996 but it works way different from the glitch.
Mario 64 added a lot of movements to make 3D platforming more fun, so a wall kick was a no-brainer.

The wall jump was definitely not inspired by this glitch, not only did Super Metroid have one but I’m certain that many, many other games did too

Kinda like how, in the original Legend of Zelda, you could hold down the B button and jam the D-pad around to just keep stabbing in various directions...which became the basis for Link's now-staple Spin Attack.

Mario franchise? It's a staple to the whole platform genre.

No, i did not know that this glitch in mario was turned into a full-on feature, and that in the earliest mario games, a pixel perfect glitch could be performed where you could jump against a wall and gain a second jump without touching the ground. and thats its like a wall jump, and that this is often used in speedruns but also can evenbe used in casual playthroughs, i also didnt know that likely nintendo saw these glitches and felt inspired, because in super mario 64, mario gained the ability to wall jump, also didnt know that the mechanic has been a staple to the entire mario franchise ever since. Thank you for enlighting me

I thought he would talk of super mario bros wonder

WALL CLIMB JUMP FROM MARIO WONDER😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[cirnosnumberfan]

I like how the title calls wall jumping an ability, as if it's a super power.

[idkjusteli]

Fun fact: The glitch was added as a wall kick badge in mario wonder

[CloudTR]

in mario wonder there is a badge that does the same thing

"It's not a glitch, it's a feature."

[iordz]

It's possible to perform the exact glitchy wall jump using a badge on Super Mario Bros Wonder.

[TheCheeseLord]

In Mario wonder it’s even more accurate than the wall jump but this was probably made 7 months ago

[GuynamedJaylen]

Imagine accidentally doing this and years later, it's a feature

[Holothurion]

By the time of Super Mario 64, MANY games featured wall jumps: Ninja Gaiden, Strider, Batman, Ufouria, Bucky O'Hare, Zool, Bonk 3, Buster Busts Loose, Mega Man X, Super Metroid, Hagane...
