The '''Flutter Jump''' ( | |||
The '''Flutter Jump''' (also known as '''Hover''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and the '''flutter kick''' in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'') is a characteristic jump technique used by various characters throughout the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] and the [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' series]]. It can be used to prolong descending after a jump and to keep a character airborne temporarily. The Flutter Jump has a distinctive appearance and is executed by rapidly moving one's legs and in some cases one's arms as well, until the character starts to float and "walk" on air. This technique can be utilized to reach remote locations, or simply to rescue a character from a [[Pit (obstacle)|bottomless pit]]. | |||
The Flutter Jump was first used by [[Yoshi]] and seemed like an ability exclusively available for their [[Yoshi (species)|species]] alone, similar to the [[Ground Pound]]. During the different installments however, other characters were shown to be able to perform a Flutter Jump, such as [[Luigi]], [[Ludwig von Koopa]] or [[Baby Bowser|Baby Bowser Koopa]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv_TYktjv6I</ref>. | |||

This was a holdover from the original mechanics of ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', from which ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was adapted, but was probably welcomed as a way to help make Luigi less of a clone of [[Mario]]. | ||

Luigi's ability is different from Yoshi's (it allows him to slow his descent rather than gain height), and is called '''Scuttle''' or the '''Scuttle Jump''' in the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction manual, while Yoshi's Flutter Jump was called '''Flutter Kick''' in and out of the game. By using the Flutter Jump, Yoshi jumps slightly higher. | ||

The Flutter Jump can be | The Flutter Jump can be be done with Yoshi in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. As with previous games, players can perform this trick by holding down the {{button|wii|A}} button on the Wii Remote after jumping with Yoshi. This move can be used to get to places that Mario and Luigi can't usually reach. It can also help to stop the player from falling and it can be used to avoid enemies. There is also a [[List of glitches in Super Mario Galaxy 2#Yoshi.27s Infinite Flutter Jump|glitch]] that allows Yoshi to endlessly Flutter Jump. Yoshi can still eat while in a Flutter Jump in this game. | ||

The Flutter Jump first was shown during the events of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and was featured as a unique trait of the Yoshi species. The move allows the Yoshis to move through the air for a short time, aiding them on their quest to reunite [[Baby Mario]] with [[Baby Luigi|his brother]]. Its mechanics then were adapted for all of the following ''Yoshi'' series platformers. Yoshi can flutter far by jumping off of an enemy or a bouncy surface with good timing. | |||

Toad's variation of the jump involves him wildly flapping his arm to in order to keep himself afloat for a longer period of time. This jump allows him to stay above enemies and various pits throughout the course he must complete. The duration of his jump is dependent on how long the player blows into the mic of the [[Nintendo DS]] (as his jumps are initiated by blowing into the microphone). | ||

Another variation of the Flutter Jump appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It serves as the field ability of Mario's [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi partner]] and while riding on him, he can use it to reach ledges that cannot be reached with a normal jump. The ability is similar to [[Parakarry]]'s move in the [[Paper Mario|previous game]]. | Another variation of the Flutter Jump appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

The Flutter Jump serves as Yoshi's mid-air jump and covers the greatest distance of all the other mid-air jumps to compensate for the fact that Yoshi lacks a significant recovery move. Yoshi also weaponized this jump in his 'Down A' move, sometimes called the Flutter Kick by fans. | ||
