no crying until the end

In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, it is possible to make Mario shiver on command. If the analog stick is pushed as lightly as possible, Mario will simply shiver instead of moving. Note the subtle vibrating movement of his hands.

This is unique in that most 3D platformers have a "dead zone" around the middle of the analog stick in which input will do nothing, and moving the stick outside of the dead zone will result in slow movement.

The Super Mario Galaxy games implement the dead zone not as ignoring the small analog stick inputs outright, but instead as simply not letting Mario move from the spot; however, he still reacts to the input by skipping frames of his idle animation, resulting in the "shivering" effect.
