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|bottomless pit]]. | ||
The Flutter Jump | The Flutter Jump was first used by Yoshi and seemed like an ability exclusively available for [[Yoshi (species)|his 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 [[Ludwig von Koopa]], [[Baby Bowser]],<ref>KokiriGaming (March 13, 2014).

While the Flutter Jump was not introduced until ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', [[Luigi]] could use a similar jump called a [[Scuttle]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. 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 similar to [[Mario]]. | |||

Yoshi | Long after its debut in the ''Yoshi'' series ([[#Yoshi franchise|see below]]), Yoshi's Flutter Jump reappeared in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In this game, it is called the '''Flutter Kick''' and it helps the player jump slightly higher. Luigi's [[Scuttle]] also reappears and allows him to slow his descent, rather than gain height. | ||

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'' franchise platformers. Yoshi can flutter far by jumping off of an enemy or a bouncy surface with good timing. | |||
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', the Flutter Jump aesthetically transmutates Yoshi's legs into a propeller, only in Classic Mode. | |||

The Flutter Jump appears in all installments of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, again as a move exclusive to Yoshi. The Flutter Jump serves as Yoshi's mid-air jump and covers the greatest distance of all the other mid-air jumps (except for [[Mewtwo]]'s since ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'') as well as granting knockback armor to compensate for the fact that Yoshi lacks a significant recovery move. Yoshi also weaponizes this jump in his down aerial move. It deals up to 56% in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', 53% / 39% in the NTSC and PAL versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' respectively, 35% in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', 29% in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and 34% in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
