[[File:SMBW Mario Jump.png|thumb|200px|[[Mario]] jumping]]
'''Jump''' is the trademark move of the whole [[Marioverse]]. This move is easily recognizable to all, even to people who have not played any of the games. It elevates a character temporarily into the air from the ground. In the platformers, the player can break and activate blocks by hitting them from underneath during a Jump.  
{{quote|As you know, the primary action for mobile creatures is the jump, if you follow.|Stuffwell|Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time}}
The generic '''jump''' is one of the most common moves in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise, usually indicated by a pose with a raised fist and split legs.


In the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' game, [[Mario]]'s jump can only dodge [[:Category:Hazardous objects|obstacles]] and collect items. Later games added the ability to hit [[Floor (Mario Bros.)|platforms]] and [[block]]s from below for beneficial results, and to [[stomp]] on many [[List of enemies|enemies]] and [[:Category:Switches|switches]] while falling. This promoted jumping to a primary method of attack and interaction in the franchise, in addition to a form of locomotion, giving it various purposes across [[genres]].
In some sidescrollers, the player couldn't break [[Brick Block]]s if he or she was playing as was small [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. By running and then Jumping, the player can Jump higher than usual. There are many variations of this move. The height and width of the Jump varies, depending on the game and character. It is a Special Attack in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and can be used in accordance with a [[Timed Hit]] to do extra damage. It is a default Special Attack. If used with an Action Command in the Paper Mario series, Mario can Jump twice. This is also Mario's default move. It does 1 base damage per Jump. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Mario and Luigi somersault in air when Jumping with a [[Star]]. In the Mario Party Series, all of the characters' Jumps are tuned to the same height, so their Jumps don't count as moves. Even [[Kart]]s can Jump a short distance with the proper speed. (Although the Kart Jumping ability has been removed by [[Nintendo]] in games such as ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!'', presumably because of the ridiculous shortcuts found by Jumping in ''Mario Kart 64''.)


In the early games, Mario keeps his legs split when landing on enemies to stomp them; in later games, Mario commonly lands on enemies by using his shoes.
Almost anything with legs can Jump. Even characters without legs, like [[Boo]] can use the ability. Mario was also the first to use it. ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]'' was the first game it has been used in and is also the first game in the Marioverse. In the Paper Mario Series, Mario can do up to 6 base damage depending on what boots he has.


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


==History==
=== Stomp ===
===''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]]''.
Stomp is the second part of a Jump that occurs while coming down. The player doesn't have to Jump; the character can also fall off a ledge or cliff. If the character Stomps on top of an enemy or switch, the player can kill/hurt the enemy or activate the switch. Stomp works on many enemies, but it doesn't work on spiked or fire enemies and can return damage. It doesn't work on ceiling, transparent, or underground enemies. [[Boo]] is an exception; Mario or Luigi can't Stomp on him in the Mario sidescrollers, but they can in the rest of the games.
{{br}}


===''Mario Bros.''===
Anyone who can Jump can Stomp. In the Mario RPG Series, Mario uses it with a [[Timed Hit]] for extra damage. In Mario Party Series the player can Jump on rival to stun them briefly, though it is still not as strong as a [[Ground Pound]].
In ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', jumping is the primary attack of Mario and Luigi and the only way to defeat [[List of enemies|enemies]]. By jumping from below to hit the platforms on which the enemies stand, the player can stun the enemies or turn them around. The enemies then have to be finished off with a kick. Unlike later games, stomping on enemies is deadly in ''Mario Bros.'' Because of this, the [[Shellcreeper]]s have been changed to [[Spiny|Spinies]] in all remakes of the game to remind players not to stomp on them.
{{br}}


===[[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]===
=== Double Jump ===
[[File:SMAS SMB3 Small Mario Jumping.png|thumb]]
A move used in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Simply Jump twice in a row to use it. It can be used to reach high places. It is the same as a Jump, but a bit higher. All four characters can use it in 64 DS, and most of the the characters in Super Smash Bros. can.
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.''====
=== Triple Jump ===
[[File:SMB-World1-2-UndergroundJump.png|thumb|Mario jumping in ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
A move used in the ''Super Mario 64'', ''Super Mario 64 DS'', ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and ''New Super Mario Bros.''. Anyone in these games who can use Double Jump can use this move. This Jump is even higher than the Double Jump, and spins the character around. To use it, Jump three times in a row. To use this move thought, the character needs a little space. Once Mario acquires 120 Power Stars, he can then use an expanded jump which causes him to become invincible while in his third jump, protecting him from damage.
''[[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, [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowsers]], and [[Bowser]] himself all jump in the game as well.


====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
=== High Jump ===
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.
[[Image:Hjump.jpg|right|thumb|Mario and Luigi uses the High Jump.]]
High Jump is a move in ''[[Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' Mario and Luigi Patners in Time ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In all games the move is different, however it is used to do the same thing: get to high places.  


====''Super Mario World''====
In ''Superstar Saga'', Luigi jumps on top of Mario to reach high places in patners in the reverse happens. It is used more than the Spin Jump in the game. In ''Super Paper Mario'', Luigi's special move is called "Hish Jump". It lets him jump higher than all the other characters in the game.
While the standard jump (or '''Regular Jump''')<ref>Super NES Nintendo Player's Guide, page 15.</ref> remains mostly unchanged in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario is also now capable of [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]]ing. It trades height for offense, as it can break blocks (as [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]) and destroy enemies that are usually more durable. It also allows Mario to bounce off certain enemies, notably those with spines, where he would usually take damage.


''Super Mario World'' is the debut of [[Yoshi]], a dinosaur-like creature Mario can ride. His jump is greater than Mario's, but it defeats enemies as quickly as the Spin Jump, and Yoshi even bounces on spiny enemies, too. While on Yoshi, Mario or Luigi can perform a '''Yoshi Boost'''<ref>''[[Mario Mania]]'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 43.</ref> (also named '''Double Jump'''),<ref>Super NES Nintendo Player's Guide, pages 13 and 15.</ref> which gives him a second, higher jump off Yoshi. Doing so leaves Yoshi alone unless Mario or Luigi hops back onto him.
=== Floaty Jump ===
Floaty Jump is a move used only by four characters: Mario, Luigi, Cosmic Wario and [[Peach]]. This move is used differently by each character. Mario or Luigi uses it when he has a [[Mini Mushroom]], and is able to fall slower than usual.
He can use it to reach areas not accessible with a normal Jump. Luigi also uses the weaker type, which is a bit lower and only makes his descent from a Jump slower than normal. Peach can Jump and hold the Jump button during a Jump to temporarily float a short horizontal distance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.  


====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
It was first used in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for both Luigi and Peach. Luigi uses it again in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' after a normal or Double-Jump. Peach uses it in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Both Mario and Luigi use it in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
[[File:SMW2 Flutter Jump.png|thumb|left|100px|Yoshi using the Flutter Jump to land slowly]]
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.


====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[Cosmic Wario]] can use this move in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', but normal Wario cannot.
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}}
{{br}}


===''Mario Kart'' series===
=== Flutter Jump ===
[[File:BowserTrickSide.png|thumb|150px|[[Bowser]] doing a trick off a net]]
[[Image:Flutter yoshi.jpg|thumb|left|Yoshi flutter jumping.]]  
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.
This move is exclusive to Yoshi and Luigi. Yoshi can use it to temporarily float a very short distance vertically and horizontally, ( Ditto for Luigi ). Yoshi uses it in ''[[Yoshi's Island]]''; it is a key move to the game. It is available in all games in the Yoshi and SMB series and in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', it prolongs the double jump so much that Yoshi has no need for a recovery move. Unfortunately, Luigi can't use this move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


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.
=== Long Jump ===
{{br}}
This move is used only in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'' by all four characters. To use this move, [[Somersault|Crouch]] while in motion and Jump. If the player did this correctly, the character would Jump a long horizontal distance. Many people beat the game without ever learning this move.


===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
=== Hop ===
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.
This Jump is exclusive to [[Kart]]s. It has been used in all of the ''[[Mario Kart Series]]'' games, excluding ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Drivers can use this to their advantage, as it chains to a [[Drift]] and Hops over small gaps. All drivers can use the Hop by pressing R, and Hopping in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' can access huge shortcuts. (These shortcuts are the most likely reason for Nintendo taking the Hop out of ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!''.)


[[File:SMRPG NS Jump icon.png|thumb|right|Jump element icon from ''Super Mario RPG'' (Nintendo Switch)]]
=== Speed Jump ===
Mario's Jump, along with [[Super Jump (Super Mario RPG)|Super Jump]] and [[Ultra Jump]], are designated with the "Jump" element, one of the four elements assigned to Special attacks in the game (the others being [[Fire (element)|Fire]], [[Lightning (element)|Lightning]], and [[Ice (element)|Ice]]). Spiky enemies are restistant to Jump attacks unless Mario equips the Jump Shoes, in which case he can damage them. Mario is the only character in the game that can use attacks with this property.
This Jump is also exclusive to Karts.  
{{br}}
This Jump is exclusive to [[Kart]]s. It has appeared in all of the ''[[Mario Kart Series]]'' games, excluding ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', as a way to utilize shortcuts. All drivers can use the Speed Jump. To use it, the driver must gain a lot of Speed, most frequently from a [[Mushroom]], and Jump. This technique can be used to get over a pit or chasm.


===''Mario Party'' series===
=== Super Jump ===
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.
Super Jump is a special attack used by Mario in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. He learns the attack at Level 6. When Mario uses his Super Jump, he can Jump on one enemy multiple times. If the player does a Timed Hit right before Mario stomps the enemy, the plumber will keep Jumping until the player messes up. With this attack, it is possible (although extremely difficult) for Mario to Jump on an enemy over one hundred times. Super Jump uses seven Flower Points (FP) and has a Magic Power rating of 45. This move is closely related to Power Bounce, a Paper Mario move.  


===''Paper Mario'' series===
This move has also been used in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. This is the second upgrade in the game. It adds 1 more base damage to each Jump.(Which now is 2 damage per Jump) In order to use it, Mario must first find the [[Super Boots]]. In ''Paper Mario'', it is found in [[Boo's Mansion]] as part of a test. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'' it is found in the [[The Great Tree]] after solving the symbol mystery. It is used to break things (like patched up floors) under Mario or shake things down.  This technique is very similar to a ground pound It can also be used as a Special Attack in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'', and does a base damage of 6 for 2 FP.
Jumping is present in every installment of the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]].


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.
=== [[Super Jump Punch]] ===


In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', all four characters have the ability to jump on foes as their primary means of attack.
A move found in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, which lets Mario perform a midair jump. If he hits an enemy while doing this, he will punch them, causing [[Yellow Coin]]s to scatter all over the place.


''[[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 Infinijump and Clone Jump reappear as cards in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', along with a new variation, the Spin Jump.
=== Spin Jump ===
{{br}}
[[Image:Mario Spinning.jpg|frame|right|Mario, spinning.]]
[[Image:Sjump.jpg|thumb|left|Mario and Luigi spin jumps.]]


===[[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]===
The Spin Jump is a very common move that has various uses. To cross large gaps in ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Mario jumps on Luigi's shoulders to Spin Jump. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the reverse happens. In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', and in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Mario and Luigi could spin jump into a [[Whirlwind]] to thrust themselves in any direction. In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Mario floats on top of a flower and Spin Jump. In the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' Series it is used for height rather than width. There is also a [[Spinning Flower]] that Mario can Spin Jump upwards on by pressing Z in ''Paper Mario''. In the rest of the platformers it is used for both height and width. It is also used in ''[[Super Mario Land 2]]''. As Super Mario or Fire Mario, the player holds down and then presses A. Mario then jumps a short distance of the ground while revolving, but then this ability is lost when Mario is smaller or is Bunny Mario.  
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
{{multiframe
|[[File:SS Jump M.png]] [[File:SS Jump L.png]]

}}
''[[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 enemies that cannot be jumped on, such as spiked enemies, and will counter if this happens, inflicting damage on the attacking Bro. and causing him to jump 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 traveling 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 an enemy that cannot be jumped on will cause the text "Too bad..." to appear.


Some enemies and bosses resist jump or hammer attacks, even if they are spiky.
So far Mario, Luigi, [[Wario]], and [[Yoshi]] are the only characters who have used it, though others can easily learn this move. Mario and Luigi can use it in most of the Mario RPG Series. All of them can use it in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' by jumping on top of a [[Spindrift]] or Jumping into a Sand Tornado. Luigi also uses it when he is coming down from a [[Somersault]].  


====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
It also started from ''Super Mario 64'' as an after effect from a Sand Tornado or jumping on top of a Spindrift. The move has been evolved into most of the Mario RPG Series as an move the Mario Bros. can use anywhere, even as a battle move. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'' the player can also use it anytime by rotating the control stick and then Jumping. Mario or Luigi can also  Spin Jump in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' when they Jump off of a spring.
[[File:Instructions1.png|thumb|160px|Instruction in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'']]
{{multiframe
|[[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 ({{button|ds|x}} for Baby Mario and {{button|ds|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''====
=== Spring Jump ===
[[File:MLBIS Action Command screenshot.png|thumb|[[Mario]] jumping towards [[Bowser]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'']]
This move has been used in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario''.  
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.


====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it adds 1 more base damage to each Jump (which now is 3 damage per Jump). It is also the strongest upgrade in the game. To obtain it, Mario must solve the many puzzles in [[Riverside Station]]. It can be used as a field or battle move. On the field it is used to Jump extremely high. If Mario hits a ceiling, he will fall to the ground a piece of paper and if there is an item on top, it will fall down. Mario can grab Pipes to reach previously unreachable areas. It is a useful Special Attack to use, especially against [[Smorg]]. It uses 4 FP and does 8 base damage. It is also the only way to get the [[Ultra Hammer]]. Interestingly it uses the same Ultra Boots which in ''Paper Mario'' is used for the Spin Jump, except that Mario retains his Spin Jump ability.
[[File:MLDT JumpInstructions.png|thumb|left|Instructions on how to jump in battle from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'']]
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 still 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 ''Super Paper Mario'', Luigi can use this move naturally. Like in its aforementioned use it is used to jump to normally unreachable places. Also like its predecessor, if Luigi hit a ceiling, he floats down like a piece of paper. Unlike Mario, however, he can be controlled and maneuvered in that state. If an enemy is attacked while Luigi is going up, the damage he deals is doubled.


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.
=== Tornado Jump ===
The Tornado Jump is only used in ''Paper Mario''. This is the last upgrade in the game. In order to use it, Mario must first find the [[Ultra Boots]]. It is found in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]] in one of the deepest corners. It replaces the Spin Jump, as an upgraded version. It has the same effects as a Spin Jump plus a higher second Jump. Tornado jump is also used in ''Paper Mario Thousand Year Door'' when Mario uses the Tornado Jump badge.


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

[[File:MLPJ JumpInstructions.png|thumb|Instructions on how to jump in battle from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''.]]
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, 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.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
*Mega Jump
''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' has a mechanic where when jumping on enemies to attack in combat, the Bro. whose turn did not come yet will walk up and can give his brother a boost to attack an enemy again. Additionally, jumping on a spiny enemy will cause the attacking Bro. to grab his foot in pain after the attack. The "Miss..." graphic that appears when jumping on a spiked enemy is now light-gray in color.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dTE1FEvd6U</ref>

[[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.
