[[File:Peach 3 SPM.png|thumb|[[Princess Peach|Peach]] can use her [[Peach's Parasol|umbrella]] to do the '''Floaty Jump''', as shown in ''[[Super Paper Mario]].]]
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.
The '''Floaty Jump''' is a move used only by six characters: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], [[Cosmic Wario]], and [[Princess Peach]]. This move is used differently by each character.


==History==
It was first (and mainly) used by Peach. Peach can Jump and hold the Jump button during a Jump to temporarily float a short horizontal distance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|Super Smash Bros.]] [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]''. In later games, such as ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', she can use an umbrella to float. She also uses her umbrella as her [[Peach Parasol (move)|up special]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
===''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''====
Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad or Blue Toad use it when he has a [[Mini Mushroom]], and is able to fall slower than usual. The brothers and Toads can use it to reach areas not accessible with a normal Jump. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario and Luigi can use the [[cape]] to slowly descend from a fall. Luigi also uses the weaker type of Floaty Jump, called the [[Scuttle]], which is a bit lower and only makes his descent from a Jump slower than normal. Luigi uses it again in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' after a normal or Double-Jump. It is very similar to [[Yoshi]]'s [[Flutter Jump]].
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''====
[[Cosmic Wario]] can use this move in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', but normal [[Wario]] can't.
[[File:SMR - Peach Floaty Jump.png|thumb|left|140px|Peach performing a Floating Jump in ''Super Mario Run'', as seen in the Tips and Tricks screen]]
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]] in exactly the same manner as Peach 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===
[[File:SSBM Peach Parasol.png|thumb|right|Peach using her parasol in a manner similar to the Floating Jump in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
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. Mini Peach glows pink and floats without falling for a short period. The move ends once Mini Peach reaches another platform, or it times out and has her fall directly downward. This ability grants Mini Peach access to areas on the other side of large gaps that 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. Movie''===
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]].
