Is Mario the same speed when walking as he is in the air?

(1/1)

Marscaleb:
Is there any difference in Mario's horizontal speed when he is walking compared to when he is in the air?

xelnia:
The horizontal speed when jumping is slower than compared to walking, even if you factor out the landing pause. Walking is two frames of horizontal movement, then a frame of pause, then repeat. Jumping is one frame of horizontal movement, then a frame of pause, then repeat until the landing which is a 5(?) frame pause. So I guess that works out to walking being about 1.47x faster, horizontally, than jumping.

Marscaleb:
Thank you, that is just what I was looking for.
