It is done by holding Down on {{button|nes|pad}} to charge up and then jumping. Characters do not necessarily have to remain [[crouch|ducking]]; they can keep the charge until they actually jump, though it resets if the player moves left/right before jumping. Unlike the normal jump move, this jump makes the characters jump higher and reach places they normally cannot. In ''Super Mario Advance'', the characters perform a backflip upon using the charge jump.

Although this move did not appear in early versions of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|''Mario Bros.'' remakes]] found in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]] and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' let Mario and Luigi perform this move.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and the ''Super Mario 3D World'' game style in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the [[Backward Somersault]] must be charged up first, in the same way as the charge jump. As of version 3.0.0 in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', the player is also able to perform the charge jump itself after obtaining the [[SMB2 Mushroom]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style, though its charge resets when the player stops crouching.

 

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', characters are able to perform the move by equipping the Crouching High Jump [[Badge (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)|badge]].

*'''Wii Virtual Console manual:''' "''Hold down on {{button|wii|Pad}} until your character starts to flash, then press {{button|wii|2}} to perform an extra-high jump.''"
