The '''Floaty Jump''' is a move used only by six characters: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], [[Cosmic Wario]], and [[Princess Peach]]. This move is used differently by each character.
The '''Floating Jump''' (sometimes known as the '''Floaty Jump''') is a move used mainly by [[Princess Peach]].


It was first (and mainly) used by Peach. Peach can Jump and hold the Jump button during a Jump to temporarily float a short horizontal distance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|Super Smash Bros.]] [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]''. In later games, such as ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', she can use [[Peach's Parasol|her umbrella]] to float. She also uses her umbrella as her [[Peach Parasol (move)|up special]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

The move returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad or Blue Toad use it when he has a [[Mini Mushroom]], and is able to fall slower than usual. The brothers and Toads can use it to reach areas not accessible with a normal Jump. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario and Luigi can use the [[cape]] to slowly descend from a fall. Luigi also uses the weaker type of Floaty Jump, called the [[Scuttle]], which is a bit lower and only makes his descent from a Jump slower than normal. Luigi uses it again in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' after a normal or Double-Jump. It is very similar to [[Yoshi]]'s [[Flutter Jump]].
In later games, such as ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Peach can use [[Peach's Parasol|her parasol]] to float. She also uses her parasol as her [[Peach Parasol (move)|up special]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].


Mario can use the move in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' while the [[Luiginary Speedometer]] is slowing down time.
It also appears in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', where it appears as [[Mini Peach]]'s special move. It is performed whenever the toy walks off a platform or a ledge, making her capable of floating across large gaps. This grants Mini Peach access to areas other Minis cannot reach. The move needs to be executed in [[Level 6]] to access Mini Peach's assigned [[amiibo Door]] by removing a [[Long Spring]] that leads to it. The door leads to Mini Peach's set of levels, [[Balloon Float Castle]], where she makes extensive use of this ability.
 
[[Cosmic Wario]] can use this move in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', but normal [[Wario]] can't.
 
It also appears in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', where it is referred to as '''Floating Jump''' and appears as [[Mini Peach]]'s special move. It is performed whenever the toy walks off a platform or a ledge, making her capable of floating across large gaps. This grants Mini Peach access to areas other Minis cannot reach. The move needs to be executed in [[Level 6]] to access Mini Peach's assigned [[amiibo Door]] by removing a [[Long Spring]] that leads to it.

The Floating Jump (sometimes known as the Floaty Jump) is a move used mainly by Princess Peach.

It first appears in Super Mario Bros. 2, where the player can hold the Jump button during a Jump to have Peach temporarily float a short horizontal distance. The move returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, and Super Mario Run with the same properties.

In later games, such as Super Princess Peach, Yoshi's Island DS, and Super Paper Mario, Peach can use her parasol to float. She also uses her parasol as her up special in the Super Smash Bros. series.

It also appears in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, where it appears as Mini Peach's special move. It is performed whenever the toy walks off a platform or a ledge, making her capable of floating across large gaps. This grants Mini Peach access to areas other Minis cannot reach. The move needs to be executed in Level 6 to access Mini Peach's assigned amiibo Door by removing a Long Spring that leads to it. The door leads to Mini Peach's set of levels, Balloon Float Castle, where she makes extensive use of this ability.
