The Wall Jump itself was first implemented in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Here, if Mario jumps at a wall, he bounces off, but if the player presses {{button|N64|A}} as soon as Mario hits the wall, he kicks off it instead, ascending higher than usual. If the player presses {{button|N64|A}} too late, Mario simply falls down. The angle of the Wall Jump can also be adjusted, based on the angle Mario jumps at the wall. In games starting from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' onward, Mario slides down the wall, making wall-jumping easier and the timing of the jump adjustable. This characteristic carries over to ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where Mario is the only character that can wall-jump. Due to the {{button|DS|A}} and {{button|DS|B}} buttons having their functions swapped, the text box that appears after the player collects the [[Mario Cap]] for the first time provides incorrect controls.

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', characters can wall-jump off the sides of walls and platforms when players tap the screen when they are both next to the wall and facing it. If the player does not jump immediately, they can still slide down. The wall jump itself changes the direction the player is facing, enabling them to wall jump off parallel walls. (Once the player lands on the ground, they change back to facing forward.) In a [[Tower]], Wall Jumping is critical because the player continues to face the other way after landing from a wall jump or sliding down a wall. This enables the player to go up the zigzagging layout. The character's upper body touching a ledge while facing it prompts [[Edge Climbing]], so at a ledge the player can only wall-jump before that move starts. Wall Jumps can defeat enemies while rising. The game's user interface in [[How to Play]] and [[Easy Mode]] clarifies that Wall Jumps cannot reach as high as normal jumps. The first three Wall Jumps done in a row have a blue star effect, meaning that in the Toad Rally mode they contribute to starting a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|Coin Rush]]. This resets when the player lands on the ground. [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s are impressed by consecutive Wall Jumps, so in the Toad Rally mode, doing so will cause a Toad to start cheering for the player.

[[Mini]]s can wall-jump against [[Wall Jump Bar]]s in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', and by approaching one, a starts moving against it automatically. If the player taps the Mini with the stylus before it slides off of the Wall Jump Bar, it performs a Wall Jump.

The Wall Jump is a special ability used by Mini Mario in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]''. From a horizontal surface, Mini Mario will automatically stick to a wall and bounce off it, continuously jumping between it and any other wall until the toy reaches a platform. Wall Jumps are not performed if Mini Mario touches a wall as it walks up a slant or bounces from a [[Trampoline|Spring]].

The Wall Jump is a special fielding ability in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. It is usable by Mario, Luigi, [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], and [[Toadette]]. When one of these characters jumps near a wall, they take a great leap off it, covering distance at a vertical angle. The move is used to catch low home run balls. In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', this special ability is absent, possibly replaced by the Buddy Jump move.

The Wall Jump is used by Mario during his [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]], the Blazing Wall Jump, in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''.

Wall-jumping is an ability in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. It is usable by the player character, [[Donkey Kong]], and operates similarly to its use in other games, the player must be constantly tapping the control stick or hitting the bongo in the direction of the wall to be able to slide down it.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Wall jump}}

Wall-jumping appears in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] as an ability usable by several {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}}s. Wall-jumping works by tilting the {{iw|smashwiki|control stick}} in the direction away from the {{iw|smashwiki|wall}} while against it. Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', some of these characters are able to {{iw|smashwiki|Wall cling|wall-cling}} as well, which allows them to stick to a wall for a few seconds as long as players hold the control stick in the direction facing the wall. Only six characters are able to wall-cling: [[Lucario]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Squirtle]], [[Greninja]], [[Sheik]], and [[Bayonetta]].

Although [[Luigi]] was able to wall-jump in the E3 demo of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and despite his ability to wall jump in sidescrolling games of the ''Super Mario'' series since ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', he cannot do so in the final game nor ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

 

One of [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s transformations in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', [[Ninja Peach]], can use wall jumps, which is mandatory to perform in some sections of the three levels in which she appears, including to get out of the room where she first receives the transformation in the [[Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids]] level.
