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.

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}}.

While Spin Jumping, Mario or Luigi can gain height by bouncing on enemies, though not as much as a regular jump.
 
[[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 ''[[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>
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the player can use the Spin Jump at any time by rotating {{button|gcn|Stick}} and then jumping, or by rotating {{button|gcn|Stick}} while Mario is in midair. It gradually shakes off any [[goop]] attached to him. Mario can also perform a '''Sprinkler Squirt''' by doing a Spin Jump while using [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s Squirt Nozzle or Turbo Nozzle. This can be done with [[Water#Super Mario Sunshine|water]] and [[juice]].
 
''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.

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 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.

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''====
====''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.

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.

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===
===''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.
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the Spin Jump is the inspiration for the [[Bros. Attack]] called [[Splash Bros.]] A [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|technique of the same name]] appears in all titles of the [[Mario & Luigi (series)#Main series|series]] besides ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', though it acts as a means of crossing wide gaps instead of an attack. Mario also performs a quick Spin Jump when greeting [[Popple]] and [[Rookie]] in the [[Woohoo Hooniversity]].
 
====''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]].
