I'm pretty sure I was aware of this trick, though I've never done it myself. I'm not sure where I would have picked it up.
A quick look around online seems to suggest this was a known glitch, it appears on mariowiki.com, and someone made a YouTube video of it almost 20 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAXfCHuHV6E

Looks like you can use the same trick to take damage, if a goomba is falling down the pit and you jump to the top of the screen.
