Because Mario can jump in most games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], only significant examples are mentioned.

===''Donkey Kong''===

[[File:Donkey Kong Arcade 25m Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Mario jumping over a barrel in ''Donkey Kong'']]

In the original arcade version of ''Donkey Kong'', Mario has to jump over the [[barrel]]s that [[Donkey Kong]] throws at him. He can only jump high enough to leap right over the barrel, in contrast to the impossibly high jumps in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' series. If Mario lands on a barrel in the game, he dies. In the early concept of ''Donkey Kong'', Mario originally was not able to jump. It was implemented when [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and his team thought, "If you had a barrel rolling towards you, what would you do?"<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/nsmb/0/0 Iwata Asks - New Super Mario Bros: Volume 1] ''Nintendo''. Retrieved June 6, 2010.</ref>

In the [[Game Boy]] [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|version]], Mario has a greater variety of moves related to jumping. If the player jumps then presses down on {{button|gb|Pad}}, Mario does a handstand. From the handstand position, Mario could perform high jumps and wide jumps depending on the situation. Mario could also backflip by walking and then immediately pressing the opposite direction and the jump button, resulting in him going high into the air backwards. Unlike all other 2D Mario titles, ''Donkey Kong'' also punishes the player for falling too far, resulting in Mario losing a life. This jump system has also been used in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''.

Since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', jumping has been a much more integral part of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], and is no longer used solely to jump over gaps and enemies. In later games of the series, Mario and other playable characters use a greater variety of jump moves which can be used to reach certain areas or get bonus [[List of items|items]] from special [[block]]s. These include the [[Spin Jump]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the [[Ground Pound]] first seen in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and even the [[Double Jump (consecutive)|Double Jump]], [[Triple Jump]], and [[Wall Jump]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' features various types of [[Brick Block]]s which Mario can find [[coin]]s in, as well as [[? Block]]s that contain [[Super Mushroom|Magic Mushroom]]s and [[Fire Flower]]s. To break these blocks, the player must jump while under them. Mario can also defeat enemies like [[Goomba|Little Goomba]]s and [[Hammer Bro]]thers by [[stomp]]ing on them. [[Koopa Troopa]]s are not defeated by the stomp, but hide in their [[Green Shell|Shells]], which can then be kicked by the player. Hammer Brothers, [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-cheep]]s, [[fake Bowser]]s, and [[Bowser]] himself all jump in the game as well.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', jumps served a different purpose than in all other games, due to the game using the only slightly altered ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' as its engine. The characters in the game could not defeat any enemies by stomping on them. Instead, they could stand on them and pick them up by pressing {{button|nes|b}}. Players could even land on [[Birdo]]'s [[Birdo's Egg|eggs]] and throw them at Birdo. Enemies and items could be picked up and thrown to knock out other enemies. This system has been carried over to ''Donkey Kong'' on the Game Boy.

 

 

 

The playable appearance of Yoshi, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', introduces multiple aspects on top of the jump. By holding the jump button, Yoshi will [[Flutter Jump]], which stalls him momentarily, allowing for careful landings and covering greater distances. Pressing down makes him [[Ground Pound]], an offensive move that is stronger than landing on enemies. These are all new to the franchise, with Ground Pounding becoming a staple of ''Super Mario Bros.'' games, and Flutter Jumping being an iconic move of Yoshi's.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario's jump can defeat most enemies. When using [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s [[Hover Nozzle]], Mario can float higher and longer. Additionally, if Mario jumps over a [[pit]], his jumps are different.{{ref needed}}

Throughout most games in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, players can make a short [[hop (move)|hop]] to begin a [[drift]]. ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' feature many narrow hazards that can be hopped over, such as puddles or cracks in the road. Otherwise, the series generally implements [[Dash Panel]]s and [[ramp]]s within courses to enable higher and farther jumps. ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' introduced [[Jump Boost|trick]]s, which allow racers to perform stunts when jumping from ramps to receive a brief speed boost upon landing. In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the [[Cape Feather|Feather]] (exclusive to Battle Mode in the latter two games) allows players to jump over obstacles and racers.

 

As of ''Mario Kart Tour'', ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' is the only game in the series where racers cannot hop. Drifting is still executed in a similar fashion to the other games.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the Jump is a special move that requires 3 [[Flower Point]]s. It does additional damage as a [[Action Command|Timed Hit]], and its power increases with the [[Jump Shoes]]. Mario can use this move from the beginning of the game. Mario's jump is also used by many characters in the game to verify his identity. Everyone also seems to think of it as his most defining characteristic.

 

 

In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], characters usually jump to hit [[Dice Block]]s. Characters can also jump in various [[minigame]]s. Sometimes characters can jump on their opponents to stun them temporarily (and to jump higher in a few minigames). In some minigames, such as [[Coin Cache]], stunned characters have a lower jumping ability.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', jumping is Mario's primary attack he can use from the beginning of the game. It can be used to defeat any kind of generic enemy like the [[Goomba]]s, but some enemies like the [[Spiked Goomba]]s prevent jump attacks with spikes, and the player then has to use the [[Hammer]] attacks instead. Jumping is also used on the overworld for platforming elements. In both games, Mario can increase his jump power and abilities with the [[Super Boots]] and the [[Ultra Boots]]; Super Boots make each hit have a power of 2, while Ultra Boots make each hit have a power of 3. [[Doopliss]] also uses Mario’s jump attack in battle when he copies Mario.

''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' features multiple Jump stickers that can be used in battle, each with various strengths. There are seven different types of Jumps, each with their own variations: the Jump, Iron Jump, Hopslipper, Infinijump, Line Jump, and Clone Jump. All of these types except the Infijump and Clone Jump reappear as cards in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', along with a new variation, the Spin Jump.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' used the same concept for jumps as the ''Paper Mario'' series. In addition, the player controls both Mario and Luigi simultaneously using {{button|gba|Pad}}, with one brother in tow following the other's movements. Each brother has their own corresponding button &ndash; {{button|gba|A}} for the leading brother and {{button|gba|B}} for the following brother &ndash; and it is necessary to use both to get both brothers over pits. On the overworld, Mario and Luigi could also perform the [[High Jump]] and the [[Spin Jump]] to reach higher areas. In combat, Mario and Luigi can jump on their enemies to attack, with their attack's damage being boosted by pressing the respective brother's button (the {{button|gba|A}} button for Mario and the {{button|gba|B}} button for Luigi) upon landing. There are also hazardously-surfaced enemies which can counter jump attacks. Should this happen, the attacking Bro. will take damage rather than damaging his target, jumping back to his spot in pain. Many [[Bros. Attack]]s also use jump moves, especially [[Splash Bros.]], [[Bounce Bros.]], and [[Swing Bros.]]. Jump attacks are stored in the Solo [[Command Block]], which displays a single face with the word "Solo" beneath it. Jumping is also used for defense, typically to avoid attacks travelling on the ground such as the corrupted [[Queen Bean]]'s shockwave slam attack. ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' retains this, although jumping on a hazardously-surfaced enemy will cause the text "Too bad..." to appear.

Some enemies and bosses resist jump or hammer attacks, even if they are spiky.

|[[File:Mario(PiT) - Jump.png]] [[File:Luigi(PiT) - Jump.png]]

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the jump command was identical to how it was in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', however, the [[Piggyback Jump|piggyback jumps]] with [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] increased the number of jump commands in-battle; the players must press the baby's button (X for Baby Mario and Y for Baby Luigi) before the adult's to deal extra damage. Jump attacks now have their own command block, which displays a white upward arrow against a red background. Jumping is used for defense as well. The Spin Jump returns, and later on the bros learn the [[Baby Spin]] move which allows them to Spin Jump into the babies to launch them even further upwards and makes it possible for them to cross large gaps along with the adult bros. In the overworld, Mario now always leads before Luigi, so Mario always uses {{button|ds|A}} while Luigi uses {{button|ds|B}}. Like Mario and Luigi, the player controls both Baby Mario and Baby Luigi simultaneously using the {{button|ds|pad}} while they are separated from their older selves, with Baby Mario leading before Baby Luigi. The two babies also have their own corresponding button - {{button|ds|X}} for Baby Mario and {{button|ds|Y}} for Baby Luigi.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====

[[File:MLBIS Action Command screenshot.png|thumb|[[Mario]] jumping towards [[Bowser]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'']]

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', jumping in battles works similar to how it did in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' when the adult brothers are with their infant counterparts; Mario and Luigi can perform two jumps with a well-timed action command, dealing twice the damage to enemies. Certain attacks also have to be jumped over. In the overworld, jumping functions the same as it did in ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'', though there are also 2D side-scrolling segments that take place inside [[Bowser's body]], where the jumps use the mechanics of ''Mario & Luigi'' jumping in a typical ''Super Mario Bros.'' setting.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the Jump attacks for Mario and Luigi are identical in gameplay to the ones in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''. In the [[Dream World]], when Mario is combined with [[Dreamy Luigi]], successful Jump attacks cause several [[Luiginoid]]s to fall on to surrounding enemies after Mario attacks for extra damage. The Jump command block shows a Boot in this game, rather than an arrow; however, arrows sill serve as the symbol for the jump defense. [[Luiginary Ball]] is an [[Luiginary Attack]] which does not involve the brothers jumping, but deals extra damage to enemies weak to jumps all the same. Jump attacks definitionally deal damage using the [[boots]]. Jumping on a spiked enemy will cause the text "Miss..." to appear as the attacker jumps back to his spot in pain.

 

The Jump attack is also used during the Giant Battles by [[Giant Luigi]]. Luigi bends down and the player must wait until Luigi flashes and spreads his arms to slide up quickly on the Touch Screen. Perfect timing allows Luigi to land firmly on the target and perform a second jump on them if the player succeeds in repeating the command. Perfect timing with both jumps yields an ''Excellent!'' rating, perfect timing on only one yields a ''Great!'' rating, sliding up at the wrong time results in a ''Good!'' rating and not sliding up at all results in an ''OK!'' rating.

 

In the overworld, this game uses the Jump field action the same way as the previous two games, and continues to feature the Spin Jump move. [[Ball Hop]] is a new move where the Bros. curl into a ball to bounce forward, leaping higher than normal. The Dream World is a 2D space, much like Bowser's body. Spin Jump and Ball Hop are not used in the Dream World, as Dreamy Luigi instead uses [[Luiginary Work]]s to get past obstacles. Luiginary Works that float in the background can jump to cosmetic effect; if the Luiginary Work does not move (i.e. the tree slingshot and the pinwheel), Luigi will still raise his eyebrows as though jumping, but will not actually move. The [[Luiginoid Formation]] is a Luiginary Work that summons Luiginoids to form one of three shapes. The stack shape can jump. It can also crouch down to perform a high-flying Spring Jump that breaks blocks above it. The cone shape can Hover Spin as its jump, which falls slowly and can be repeated in air to keep most of its height.

As in other games, the Mario Bros. sometimes prove their prowess to other characters by jumping.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Mario and Luigi's jumps remain the same, but [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] is unique due to having {{button|3ds|Y}} as his jump button. In battle, Paper Mario and his copies can jump on enemies many times depending on how many copies he has. The Jump defense is also used here to avoid low attacks, and Paper Mario can also float by flapping his arms akin to [[wikirby:Kirby|Kirby]], allowing Paper Mario to avoid taller or longer attacks for his version of the jumps. The [[Papercraft]]s can also perform a jump move to stomp on enemies, though the player has to retrieve the Papercraft after jumping.

 

====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====  

[[File:SSBB Midairjump.png|thumb|200px|[[Mario]] performing a Midair Jump in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], a jump can be performed by all characters. Each character has a different jump height and speed. A major mechanic in the series is that players can jump again while airborne, and some characters can do so multiple times. Also, Mario, Luigi and Dr. Mario's [[Super Jump Punch]] is executed similarly to the conventional jumps in the ''Super Mario'' games.
