The 2D segments of Super Mario Odyssey feature a quality-of-life mechanic common in modern platformers whereby a grace period is given to Mario after running off a ledge during which he can still jump even though he is not touching the ground, to make platforming easier. This is called "coyote time" in game development, referring to the Looney Tunes cartoons featuring Wile E. Coyote, where he would often run off a cliff but remain suspended in mid-air without falling down.

The factors governing the amount of coyote time afforded to Mario are complex and based on all manners of speed and position variables, so it is not consistent how much of it the player can expect in any given situation. The footage shows one of the most gratuitous amounts of coyote time that has been documented in the game, afforded when Mario performs a crouch-jump and grazes a ledge on the way down, whereby he is able to perform a completely physics-defying save.
