Crouching With Items Glitch

The **Crouching With Items Glitch** is a glitch used in *Super Mario Maker* that allows Mario to crouch with items in the Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U games styles, which is only a built in mechanic in the Super Mario World game style.

## Mechanics

* Super Mario or higher is able to continue crouching with an item after touching the ground as long as the down button is pressed. Small Mario in the New Super Mario Bros. U game style is able to continue to crouch after touching the ground as long as the down button is pressed.
* Crouch jumping and then taking damage will not cause the crouch to disappear. This allows Small Mario to be crouch even if he doesn't appear any different.
* Small Mario in the Super Mario Bros. 3 game style will appear in his standing still animation while crouched with an item.
* In all game styles, If Super Mario or higher doesn't hold down while moving forward when touching the ground, he will instantly uncrouch. However, if Mario doesn't hold anything or as the down button pressed while moving forward at the moment he touches the ground, he will have 2 frames to jump before uncrouching. The same mechanic applies for Small Mario, even in the Super Mario Bros.  and Super Mario Bros. 3 game styles.

## Variations

### Forced Crouch Storage

Through the use of Forced Crouch Storage, when Mario jumps on an enemy or certain objects he will be forced into a crouch even if he is holding an item.

### Propeller Crouch Storage

Gaining Crouch Storage and then taking damage while still holding down after propelling will cause Propeller Mario to start crouching even when holding an item. It will not work if Propeller Mario is landing at the time as he takes damage (landing on a spike etc).

### Raccoon Mario

If Raccoon Mario is flying while crouched he is able to grab items. Even if he appears uncrouched while flying up with an item, his hitbox is still the one from crouched.

### Super Star

If Mario grabs an item near the end of the front flipping animation of jumping with a Super Star while being in a one block high space he will grab the item and start crouching.
