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

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

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.
