The '''Floating Jump''' (sometimes known as the '''Floaty Jump''') is a move that allows characters to hover in midair or to descend slowly during a [[jump]]. It is primarily used by [[Princess Peach]], who may sometimes employ [[Peach's Parasol|her parasol]] as an airfoil.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
The Floating Jump first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where the player can hold the jump button during a jump to have Peach briefly hover at a certain height. This ability was the result of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' being a repurposed version of ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', with Peach inheriting Lina's abilities, including her jump.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
This move also appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' with similar properties to those seen in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', though with a much shorter gliding time.

====''Super Mario Run''====

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', the move works differently, as Peach slowly descends for as long as the screen is held instead of briefly hovering.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', [[Toadette]] can use this move as [[Peachette]]; it works exactly like how Peach's does in ''Super Mario Run''.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', Peach does not naturally have access to the Floating Jump. However, all playable characters can equip the Parachute Cap [[badge (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)|badge]], which functions similarly to Peach's Floating Jump from ''Super Mario Run'' but uses a [[cap]] instead.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

The move returns in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] as of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Peach's debut in that series. She also uses her parasol as her [[Peach Parasol (move)|up special move]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, where it also slows her fall. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this move, as well as the parasol, is also present for [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and works in the same fashion as Peach's, due to her being an Echo Fighter of Peach.

===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
{{rewrite-expand|section=y|more gameplay details--is the move basically a slow descent or does it allow the player to remain at a certain height like in SMB2?}}
[[Baby Peach]] can perform this move in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' using a parasol.

===''Super Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Peach is able to slowly descend through the air with her parasol.

===''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''===
The Floating Jump also appears in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', where it appears as [[Mini Peach]]'s special move. It is performed whenever the toy walks off a platform or a ledge, making it capable of floating across large gaps. This grants Mini Peach access to areas other [[Mini]]s cannot reach. The move needs to be executed in [[Level 6]] to access Mini Peach's assigned [[amiibo Door]] by removing a [[Long Spring]] that leads to it. The door leads to Mini Peach's set of levels, [[Balloon Float Castle]], where it makes extensive use of this ability.

===''Mario + Rabbids'' series===
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', Peach performs this jump in her unlock cutscene, and when jumping off high ground in [[Beacon Beach]] and entering a new world or [[MegaDragonBowser]]'s arena if she is in the party.

===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', [[Funky Kong]] can slowly descend through the air using his surfboard.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Move''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Peach performs a Floating Jump as she descends from the [[Goal Pole]] of the [[Training Course (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|Training Course]].
