	A stair BLJ is similar to a slope BLJ, except using stairs instead of slopes to achieve the rising floor effect. Stair BLJs often cannot be performed when there are wall hitboxes sticking out from the stairs because the walls prevent Mario from landing on the higher floor. Similarly to slope BLJs, stair BLJs are often pause bufferable.		A stair BLJ is similar to a slope BLJ, except using stairs instead of slopes to achieve the rising floor effect.

	Elevator BLJs are also conceptually similar to slope BLJs and stair BLJs in that they too use the floor under Mario rising to interrupt Mario's long jump. Elevator BLJs use elevators as the rising floor. Elevator BLJs are a common solution for when one wishes to quickly get a lot of speed since while slope BLJs and stair BLJs can only last until the slope or stair runs out or Mario hits out-of-bounds, elevator BLJs can last as long as the elevator is moving and don't need to stop when Mario hits out-of-bounds.

Because of this, elevator BLJs are the only type of BLJ that can reach [[PU]] speed.

	A ceiling BLJ is performed by having Mario hit a ceiling during his long jumps so that Mario starts moving downwards earlier, meaning there's less time for drag to slow Mario down. Ceiling BLJs can be performed with low ceilings or with [[Exposed ceiling\|exposed ceilings]].

	This [[Glitch\|glitch]] is caused by the lack of a negative limit on Mario's speed. The first frame of a Long Jump multiplies Mario's forward velocity by 1.5, and although the game keeps this velocity below 48.0, no corresponding negative cap is enforced. Since Mario's speed is slowed due to drag each frame he is in the air, this multiplier does not affect typical gameplay. However, if Mario is in a position where he can perform many backwards-facing Long Jumps in rapid succession, he can repeatedly reduce his speed while overcoming drag, resulting in negative Hyperspeed.

This also means that they do not work on any Japanese [[Virtual Console]] releases, the 3D All Stars release, or the [[Super Mario 64 (iQue)\|iQue]] version. In these versions, Mario's speed is reset when long jumping while moving backwards.
