Mars

Effects

• Double tapping a direction makes Isaac quickly dash in that direction.
  • Isaac is immune to damage from all sources during the dash, with the exception of Blood Donation Machines, Devil Beggars, and similar self-damage active items.
  • The dash deals damage equal to 4x Isaac's damage + 8.
  • The direction of the dash can be changed by holding another button.
  • The dash has an approximate 3 second cooldown.

Notes

• The dash can be used to enter curse rooms and open spiked chests/mimic chests without taking damage.
• The dash can destroy Shopkeepers.
• With a controller, tapping the joystick is rather inconsistent, and the dash can often activate by accident. Using the directional pad instead is recommended.
• When Mars's dash is charged, Isaac will occasionally flash brightly, and visible steam will emit from his nose.
• Extra care needs to be taken with this item, as tapping for precise movements too quickly will cause a dash.

Synergies

• Camo Undies: Can be used to deal damage without breaking the confusion effect.
• Kamikaze!: Kamikaze can be used without taking damage while dashing.
• A Pony / White Pony: Lowers the dash cooldown to approximately 1.5 second.
