| | The '''Wall Jump''' is a move that [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] or [[Donkey Kong]] can use in various games. In narrow passageways Mario and Luigi can use it to ascend to the top. They jump wall to wall with a little more height with each [[Jump]]. They can reach great heights, cross wide gaps, or just save themselves from falling into a bottomless pit. It takes a bit of practice to master though. To use press the jump button while sliding down a wall. If the walls are too far from each other Mario won't be able to use the move correctly. It has been used in many platformer games. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', [[Mini Mario]]s can Wall Jump on certain occasions, mostly on Wall Jump Bars. |

|
| The '''Wall Jump''' (or '''wall jump'''), also known as the '''Wall Kick''' (or '''wall kick'''), is a [[List of moves|special move]] that can be used by several [[List of characters|characters]], most notably [[Mario]]. The move is activated by [[jump]]ing towards a wall and hitting the jump button again upon colliding with the wall. If that is done in narrow passages, characters can jump between the walls to ascend to a higher [[platform]] or over an obstacle. | | The move first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and of course appeared in the [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]]. It also appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Later, it made an appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat]]'' where Donkey Kong was shown being capable of using this move. The move later appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. |

| |
| In many early games, before the implementation of the actual wall-jumping mechanic, maneuvers similar to the Wall Jump exist as [[glitch]]es. For example, in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', if Mario lands on a wall on a 16×16 boundary (so that his foot is on the top corner of a [[block]]), the player is able to jump from that point with frame-perfect timing. Similar glitches also exist in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| Starting from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' onwards, [[Luigi]] is able to wall-jump as well. In the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]], Mario, Luigi, [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]], and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] are capable of wall-jumping. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', [[Nabbit]] is also capable of wall-jumping. In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'', the player can perform a [[Spin Jump]] while wall-jumping.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the [[Mailtoad]] mentions that [[Captain Toad]] has the ability to wall-jump, as he was able to scale a canyon in pursuit of [[The Chimp]] in the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]]; however, Captain Toad is unable to jump at all in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' (and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports of the same name]]), and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', likely due to his heavy backpack. [[Toad]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Rosalina]] are able to wall-jump in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''.

| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (and [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its 3DS version]]) and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Mario, Luigi, Toad, and [[Toadette]] can all wall-jump, but only in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'' styles.

| ===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''====
| |
| [[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.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''====
| |
| [[File:MM&FaC WallJump.png|thumb|Mini Mario executing the Wall Jump in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'']]
| |
| 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]].
| |
| | |
| This ability is essential in reaching Mini Mario's assigned [[Goal Door (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)|door]] in Level 5, located at the top of the stage. After clearing the level through said door, Mini Mario gains access to the [[Boost Pad Bonanza]] set of levels, which make extensive use of the Wall Jump ability.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Superstar Baseball''===
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
| |
| [[File:Blazing Wall Jump - Mario Tennis Aces.gif|thumb|left]]
| |
| The Wall Jump is used by Mario during his [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]], the Blazing Wall Jump, in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| {{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''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Princess Peach: Showtime!''===
| |
| 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.
