	The main reason why Mario is able to get massive amounts of negative speed so easily, is because although the game developers often hard capped Mario's positive speed, they usually just soft capped Mario's negative speed allowing Mario to get hundreds, thousands, or even millions of units of speed with tricks such as the [[Backwards Long Jump]], [[Hyperspeed Walking]] and [[Backward Shell Hyperspeed]]. This slight oversight is the main root of many speed-gaining tricks in the game. Although, it's worth noting that some sorts of Mario's positive speed (just as some other negative) have no cap at all, such as airborne accelleration of 0.15 units per frame^2 (which allows Mario to build positive speed with HSWK, pedro spot etc.).

	'''Speed''', often abbreviated as '''SPD''', is a type of internal variable that represents how many [[unit]]s [[Mario]] moves per frame. There are many speed variables, such as Horizontal Speed (HS), Vertical Speed (VS), X/Y/Z Speed, Sliding Speed, and X/Z Sliding Speed. These variables do not always represent how much Mario ''actually'' moves per frame; for example, when something is in his way, Mario can have horizontal speed without going anywhere.

	'''Speed, '''~~abreviated~~ as~~''' '''(''~~'''SPD'''~~'')''' '''~~is ~~an ingame~~ variable that ~~indicates~~ how many [[Unit\|units]] [[Mario]]~~'s moving~~. ~~Vertical Mario~~ speed ~~is called '''~~Vertical Speed (VS) ~~'''~~and ~~Horizontal Mario speed, '''Horizontal''' '''~~Speed ~~(HS)~~.

	[[File:Mario Falling.png\|thumb\|279x279px\|Mario falling at ''Terminal Speed'' ('''M75''')'' ''in [[The Princess's Secret Slide\|PSS]]]]		[[File:Mario Falling.png\|thumb\|279x279px\|Mario falling at ''Terminal Speed'' ('''M75''')'' ''in [[The Princess's Secret Slide\|PSS]]]]
	When [[airborne]], ~~mario~~'s ~~Vertical Speed is constantly ''decreasing ''~~by 4 every frame, ~~as ''Gravity''~~ is ~~applying on him a Constant of~~ -4 per frame. ~~Additionally~~, Mario's ~~Vertical ''Terminal Speed ''~~is ~~-75 ('''M75''' as shown in-game)~~, ~~so he will not fall faster than that. VS is unused~~ when ~~Mario is~~ in ~~a ''ground state~~,'' ~~so his VS is normally reset to '''0''' as soon as he touches the ground~~, and ~~will remain that way until~~ Mario ~~is Airborne again~~. ~~However, there~~ are ~~certain movements that '''don't''' reset Mario's VS when he touches the ground ''(See~~ [[Vertical Speed Conservation]]).''		When [[Airborne\|airborne]], Mario's vertical speed decreases by 4 units every frame due to gravity, and is capped at -75 units per second.

			==Speed Conservation==
			The speed variables are normally updated every frame, but sometimes this is not the case. When outside of water and not sliding, Mario's sliding speed is constantly updated to whatever his horizontal speed is, and when in water, Mario's sliding speed isn't updated at all. Therefore, horizontal speed can be conserved by going into water and entering a sliding state on the same frame Mario exits (for example, by pressing Z to crouch) to activate his sliding speed.

			Some other examples of speed conservation are [[Vertical Speed Conservation]] and [[Vertical and Horizontal Speed Conservation]].
