The Mario on the far right can be seen Prat Falling.

Prat Falling also called "tripping" is a new occurence in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It seems to happen when the C-stick is Smashed; the character stumbles, falls over, and rolls to get back on their feet. It can also apparently be done out of an idle stance, and can be done while smashing or using a move while running. A related technique is the trip cancel; when turning around, before tripping, an attack can be used to cancel the trip.
Tripping is a tentative name; it is also known as "stumbling", "pivoting" or various other names. The game records refer to it as a Prat Fall, and keeps track of the total number of Prat Falls each character or name has experienced in Group Brawls.
