The '''skidding animation''' plays when the character stops running after their initial dash and attempts to stop their momentum. The length of this animation varies between characters, but it can also vary depending on the speed the character is running at relative to their maximum running speed. Shorter skidding animations are preferred, particularly in ''Smash'' games where dash canceling is impossible. For example, in ''Smash 4'', {{SSB4|Bowser}}, {{SSB4|Charizard}}, {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, and {{SSB4|Lucario}} have extremely short skidding animations even after stopping at maximum speed, which effectively allows them to do any attack out of their runs with little lag in between, or even seamlessly begin another dash in the opposite direction. This animation can only be canceled with a jump, or with an [[item]] pick up if one is nearby. Its first few frames can also be canceled into any special move. | The '''skidding animation''' plays when the character stops running after their initial dash and attempts to stop their momentum.

*In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', Dr. Mario's dash speed (along with most of his other attributes) is actually coded to be identical to Mario's. However, due to external multipliers, his dash speed is slower in-game as a result. | *In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', Dr. Mario's dash speed (along with most of his other attributes) is actually coded to be identical to Mario's.
