Welp, had a cute headcanon with the frog suit
You know how in Mario 3, it forces you to hop unless you have an object in your hands?
Basically you and the frog are trying to move at the same time, but since you're trying to walk, and its trying to hop, you fall over, making it just easier to hop.
However if you're holding something, the frog doesn't really know what to do, so they let you take over
