{{quote|If you rotate the Control Stick before pressing {{button|gcn|A}}, you can do a Spin Jump!|[[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]|[[Super Mario Sunshine]]}}
The '''Spin Jump''', also referred to as the '''Whirlwind Jump''',<ref name=NP>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Hamm & Rudolf GmbH, Frankfurt|title=''Super Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=21|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is a [[List of moves|special move]] that lets the player character, as the name suggests, spin while [[jump]]ing. Most of the time, it reaches a different height from the standard jump, and may offer protection against enemies and obstacles that would otherwise be harmful to land on.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:Spin.gif|16x32px|left]]
[[File:Star World 1.png|thumb|[[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] spin-jumping on some Rotating Blocks]]
The Spin Jump first appears in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where it is used by pressing {{button|snes|A}}. Althought it offers less height than a standard jump, it can instantly defeat most [[stomp]]able enemies such as [[Galoomba|Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s, while allowing Mario or Luigi to bounce on unstompable enemies such as [[Spiny|Spinies]] and [[Lava Bubble]]s without taking damage. While Spin Jumping, Mario or Luigi can gain height by bouncing on enemies by holding {{button|snes|A}}.

[[Chargin' Chuck]]s, [[Wiggler]]s and all [[Koopalings]] react to Spin Jumps just as they would a regular stomp, while [[Boo Buddies|Circling Boo Buddies]], [[Boo Buddy Snake]]s' trail, a [[Boo Crew]]'s Boos, [[Bony Beetle]]s' spikes, [[Muncher]]s, [[spike (Super Mario World)|spike]]s, [[Reznor]] and [[Bowser]] are unaffected by Spin Jumps altogether. 

The Spin Jump interacts with each of Mario and Luigi's [[power-up]]s. As [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or better, Spin Jumps can break [[Rotating Block]]s from above. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is mounted, it can also break blocks until it next lands. As [[Fire Mario]], the Spin Jump scatters [[fireball]]s rapidly in both directions, and as [[Cape Mario]], it performs a '''Cape Spin'''.<ref>{{cite|date=August 1991|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=50-51|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>

In the Super NES [[Nintendo Power|Nintendo Player's Guide]], the words "Spin Jump" and "Double Jump" are used interchangeably to refer to a [[Jump#Super Mario World|Yoshi Boost]]. The name for the Spin Jump itself was retained in the guide.<ref>{{cite|quote=Break the Blocks above the key using a Spin Jump and use the key on the keyhole.|title=Super NES Nintendo Player's Guide|page=13|language=en-us|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
The Spin Jump reappears in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. As Super Mario or Fire Mario, the player can hold {{button|Paddown}} and then press {{button|gb|A}}, or {{button|Paddown}} while in midair; Mario then either Spin Jumps or spins in midair. Mario can hit or break [[block]]s from above with this move (like with the [[Ground Pound]]). The Spin Jump's stomp can also destroy [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[shell|Koopa Shell]]s, and some multiple-hit enemies by landing on them with it, but unlike in ''Super Mario World'', it does not protect from hazardous enemies. This ability cannot be performed as [[Small Mario]] or [[Bunny Mario]].

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Spin Jump occurs after jumping on a [[Spindrift]] or [[Fly Guy]] or into a [[tornado]], and causes the player character to descend more slowly. In the Nintendo DS remake, Luigi also uses it while descending from a [[Backward Somersault]].

In a [[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|pre-release]] video of ''Super Mario 64'', Mario could activate the same Spin Jump while doing a [[Triple Jump]] (it is unknown if doing a Triple Jump first is required).

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Yoshi Juice.png|thumb|Mario riding an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] as it spits orange juice in [[Delfino Plaza]]]]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the player can perform the Spin Jump at any time by rotating {{button|gcn|Stick}} and then jumping. Just like in ''Super Mario 64'', it grants extra height compared to a normal jump while both ascending and descending at a slower pace. The faster Mario is moving before Spin Jumping, the greater the jump height will be. Spin Jumps will gradually shakes off any [[goop]] attached to Mario, as well as prevent him from grabbing onto ledges, unless the ledge is a [[Sand block]].<ref>{{cite|author=AverageTreyVG|date=October 11, 2021|url=youtu.be/zlG8El1UUVc|title=The Many Kinds of Spinjumps|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 9, 2024}}</ref>

''Super Mario Sunshine'' divides the {{button|gcn|Stick}}'s directions into four quadrants aligned with the course's X and Y axes. A spin input is triggered by rotating {{button|gcn|Stick}} within a 10-frame window, touching all four quadrants without touching the neutral position. The minimum rotation needed to perform a spin input is just above 180°.

Spin Jumps can also be performed during a [[Sprinkler Squirt]], while running with the [[Turbo Nozzle]] (including running on top of the [[water]]), or by rotating {{button|gcn|Stick}} while Mario is in the middle of an action such as landing or climbing from a ledge, then jumping. A normal jump or [[Wall Jump]] can be converted into a Spin Jump by rotating {{button|gcn|Stick}} in midair. Jumping again after landing from an airborne Spin Jump triggers a Triple Jump. 

[[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s Spin Jump is much higher than Mario's, and [[Flutter Jump]]s can still be performed while spinning. 

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', jumping off of a [[Spin Block (New Super Mario Bros.)|Spin Block]] activates a Spin Jump while launching Mario or Luigi high into the air. As in ''Super Mario 64'', he falls more slowly in this state. Attempting to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] causes him to spin downwards rapidly in a drill-like motion, known as the [[Drill Spin]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Mario or Luigi can [[spin]] in midair to attack and gain extra height and distance, except it is done in midair, giving Mario or Luigi a little height in his jump. If performed quickly before a [[Ground Pound]], the player character performs a {{conjectural|Homing Ground Pound}}.

If Mario or Luigi is caught in a [[tornado]] or [[Tweester]], spinning propels him high into the air, with his arms rotating around his body like helicopter blades. He then gently floats down as with the Spin Jump from ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine''. Mario or Luigi also performs a similar Spin Jump after bouncing off a [[Spring Vault]] or [[Spring Topman]], albeit spinning with his entire body and at a slower pace.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:Propeller Suits NSMBW E3 2009 screenshot.png|thumb|250px|Early screenshot of Blue Toad and Yellow Toad using the Spin Jump in their Propeller forms]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Mario, Luigi, [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]], and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] can use the Spin Jump. It is performed by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. It functions most similarly to the Spin Jump in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', but still no longer protects from stomping otherwise hazardous enemies. Like in that game, it causes [[Fire Mario]] and [[Ice Mario]] to shoot a [[fireball]] or [[Ice Ball]], respectively, in each direction.

The Spin Jump clears nearby clouds and [[Foo]]s' fog, and causes nearby [[Flower (New Super Mario Bros. series)|flower]]s to drop [[coin]]s. It also activates [[Screwtop Shroom]]s, [[Screwtop Platform]]s, and [[Screwtop Lift]]s, during which the character does not jump and can power the course part by spinning continuously.

Attempting to Spin Jump in the air performs the [[Midair Spin]], which ekes out more air time, and even allows [[Mini Mario]] to fall slowly enough to [[Wall Jump]] up one wall. As [[Propeller Mario]], both moves are replaced by [[fly]]ing upwards. This puts the character into a similar state to the [[Spin Block (New Super Mario Bros.)|Spin Block]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they fall slowly and can [[Drill Spin]] by pressing {{button|wii|paddown}}. They can now also cancel the Drill Spin by releasing {{button|wii|paddown}}, and further slow their descent by shaking the Wii Remote.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
The spin returns in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', behaving exactly the same as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi  U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', the Spin Jump functions as it did in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. [[Flying Squirrel Mario]]'s Spin Jump is higher than the standard jump. Also as Flying Squirrel Mario, attempting to [[Midair Spin]] propels the player character upwards with a [[Flying Squirrel Jump]], which can be done indefinitely as [[P Flying Squirrel Mario]].

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
The Spin Jump returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]], being performed like in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' by rotating {{button|wii|Stick}} and then jumping while the character is spinning in place. It is the highest jump that any of the characters can perform, and slows the player's descent.

The Spin Jump is also automatically performed if a player jumps on another player in midair.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', the Spin Jump can be used in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' game styles. It retains its ability to break [[Rotating Block]]s in the ''Super Mario World'' game style, and to defeat certain enemies such as Galoombas and Koopa Troopas. Unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', it can be used to jump on most spiked enemies in both game styles, but notably not [[Grinder]]s as was possible in ''Super Mario World''.

The [[Midair Spin]] also returns in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style.

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', when the player jumps from a [[Trampoline]], they can can continue to hold the screen to spin as they fall. This reduces forward speed and falling speed. This is like how Spin Blocks work in ''New Super Mario Bros'', but without spinning while rising. This spin ends immediately once the screen is released, if an enemy is stomped, and when landing.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Mario performs the same Spin Jump move from ''Super Mario 64'' when he jumps off a [[Hat Trampoline]]. He can also perform the variant seen in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'' when the player rotates the Control Stick (which makes him spin in place) and then performs any jump. If Mario [[Ground Pound]]s after Spin Jumping, he performs the [[Drill Spin]]. Pressing {{button|switch|Y}} while spinning {{button|switch|stick}} will cause a [[Cap Throw|Spin Throw]] to be performed instead of a Cap Throw, with the exception of Spin Jumps caused by Hat Trampolines.

There are also twisters present that spin Mario, similarly to the tornadoes in ''Super Mario 64'', ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' and the [[whirlwind]]s in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the Spin Jump and [[Midair Spin]] return with the same properties as in the game's [[Super Mario Maker|predecessor]].

In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' game style, the Spin Jump from that game can be performed by pressing {{button|switch|b}} and one of the shoulder buttons ({{button|switch|L}}, {{button|switch|R}}, {{button|switch|ZL}}, or {{button|switch|ZR}}) while holding ↑ on {{button|switch|leftstick}}.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
The Spin Jump reappears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', functioning as in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. Spin Jumping as [[Bubble Mario]] will blow a bubble on each side. The Boosting Spin Jump [[Badge (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)|badge]] grants the player the ability to perform a small Spin Jump in midair, replacing their Midair Spin.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, the player can use a [[Cape Feather]] to perform a Spin Jump, which also allows them to perform a [[Jump Boost]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Mario, [[Dr. Mario]], and Luigi use moves known as [[Mario Tornado]], [[Dr. Tornado]], and [[Luigi Cyclone]], respectively. These moves look similar to and could be based on the Spin Jump. The former two also have access to [[Cape]] and [[Super Sheet]], respectively, which can reflect projectiles in a similar manner to the Cape Spin.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
[[File:SpinJumpCard.png|thumb|55px]]
The Spin Jump appears as a [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Card]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. It uses red paint and has both a standard and Big variant. When using the move, Mario jumps above the targeted enemy and begins to spin. When {{button|WiiU|A}} is pressed, Mario will slam downwards onto the enemy. A shockwave is created with a Nice or better [[Action Command]], increasing in size with Great or Excellent, that deals half damage to other enemies. Unlike the [[Hammer]] cards, the shockwave can hit floating or aerial enemies. The jump can also hit spiked enemies without damaging Mario.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
In the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, there is a recurring [[Bros. Move]] named [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]] which has two characters stand on each other and spin to hover across wide gaps. Mario and Luigi gain this move in most games.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Mario and Luigi learn [[Splash Bros.]], a [[Bros. Attack]] which uses the Bros. Move Spin Jump. However, the early portion of the attack has Mario spinning alone, resembling a Spin Jump. Splash Bros. with the [[Super Attack|Advanced Command]], or Super Splash Bros. in the remake, only has Mario spin, more closely resembling Spin Jumping. Mario also performs a quick Spin Jump when greeting [[Popple]] and [[Rookie]] in the [[Woohoo Hooniversity]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the Bros. Attacks [[Bye-Bye Cannon]] and [[Dropchopper]] end with spinning stomps from Mario and Luigi. [[Giant Luigi]] and Mario can use [[Drill Stomp]], a Bros. Attack where they spin while jumping.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', Mario and Luigi perform a Spin Jump in a similar manner to the 3D ''Super Mario'' games after bouncing off a [[Bouncy Bloom]].

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', the Spin Jump is used as a tactic for blocking shots in basketball. While Mario is capable of performing this move, more characters are also able to perform this move such as [[Toad]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Yoshi]] (though the latter two have variations of the move such as adding hearts or using a tongue as a part of the attack).

===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''===
In the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', the Spin Jump appears as Mario's special boost in [[Rocket Ski Jumping]], where it is referred to as the '''Spinning Jump'''.
