The '''Long Jump''' (alternatively spelled '''long jump'''), called '''Leap''' on ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''  is a move used in the 3D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (except ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', due to the presence of [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] and the [[Hover Nozzle]]). It also appears in the side-scrolling games ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' (''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style only), as well as in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. To use this move, the player usually must [[crouch]] while in motion and [[jump]], causing the character to jump a long horizontal distance. The move is primarily used to clear huge gaps between [[platform]]s and move faster; this is especially helpful in timed missions.

In ''Super Mario 64'', there is [[List of Super Mario 64 glitches#Backwards Long Jump|a glitch]] where [[Mario]] can perform this move backwards, which increases his speed, allowing him to access certain areas without having to collect the required number of [[Power Star]]s; this was patched out in the ''Shindō Pak Taiō Version'', [[iQue|iQue Player]], and ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' rereleases, as well as the [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]].

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', this move can be chained with a [[spin]] to perform a [[double kick]], which can defeat enemies and activate items. From these games onward, Mario and Luigi cannot long-jump into a [[Wall Jump]].

In both ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'', characters can long-jump out of a [[Roll]] (referred to as a '''Rolling Leap''' in the former game), making the jump faster and longer. While they can long-jump backwards in both games, their speed is always capped, unless they move sideways.<ref>Ceave Gaming (December 9, 2018).

In ''Super Mario Run'', characters long-jump if the screen is tapped while they are on a [[Long Jump Block]]. Landing from a Long Jump prompts a [[Roll|Landing Roll]] irrespective of falling distance or speed. If the player does a Landing Roll on a Long Jump Block and jumps, the player uses a combined version of the Long Jump and [[Roll|Rolling Jump]].

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Mario can perform the Long Jump when {{button|switch|ZL}} or {{button|switch|ZR}} is pressed when he starts crouching after he [[dash|runs]]. This can be done for infinite times until either he bumps into a wall or the player lets go of the button required to do so.

In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', characters can perform a Long Jump in [[level]]s in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style much like in the original game,<ref>Nintendo (May 15, 2019). [https://youtu.be/ct1GwHvNKME?t=751 スーパーマリオメーカー 2 Direct 2019.5.16]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 20, 2019.</ref> by pressing the shoulder buttons while moving.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', [[stomp]]ing enemies during a Long Jump automatically makes characters perform another Long Jump, rather than a normal jump.
