Help with Mario's Moves in my Engine Test. - OssieTheOstrich - 04-21-2018

A sort of Engine Test i'm making has the these Keyboard controls (X is Jump, S is Run, and Z is also Jump, Down in the air is Ground Pound, etc etc), and i don't know which button i should map to dive yet. If anybody could make a suggestion that is comfortable to use, then i'l try to implement it.

Why does jump have two buttons?

Make Z the dive button when you press it in the air and an attack button like a kick when standing on the ground.

Ideally, though, you make the controls gamepad by default and let users map their own keyboard controls.

Play either SMAS or SMW, then you'll understand.

Is it a spin jump?

Basically, what Pedigree said. Customizable controls are the best way to go.

If you don't know how to set up customizable controls, I'd probably do Z to run, X to jump, and C to dive.

Well, in Super Mario 63 (a 2-D Super Mario 64 remake), they had down as up as jump, down as dive, and z as ground pound (in mid-air). If you would like to see the game itself to see how the control scheme works out, you can find it here (it's also very well done and fun to play): https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/498969

I actually did play a bit of it. But as for the controls, i'm going for a NSMB/SMW style with SM64 and SMO controls in the mix.
UPDATE: I made C the dive button.
