The Spin Jump is a special move used by Mario or Luigi in which the player, as the title suggests, spins while jumping. The spin jump first appeared in Super Mario World, in which the player could press the A button and the character would spin. If the character was in his Super form, then the Spin Jump could break some Turning Blocks from above. Further more, if the character was in his Fire form, doing a Spin Jump would scatter fireballs rapidly in both directions. Also the player can Spin Jump on enemies such as Spinies and Chainsaws without taking damage.
It was later used in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga where the player could cross large gaps, to do this move, Mario had to jump on Luigi's shoulders, and the duo would spin across to the other side. The Spin Jump reappeared in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. This time, Luigi would jump on Mario's shoulder. Unlike in Superstar Saga, the duo could move while stacked before actually beginning the move. It also lasts a bit longer in this game. In both games, Mario and Luigi could Spin Jump into a Whirlwind to thrust themselves in any direction.
In the Paper Mario Series it is learned when Mario gains the Super Boots. However, the Spin Jump in these games more closely resembles a Ground Pound. There is also a Spinning Flower that Mario can Spin Jump upwards on if the player presses Z in Paper Mario.
It is also used in Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. As Super Mario or Fire Mario, the player can hold down and then press A. Mario then jumps a short distance of the ground while revolving, but then this ability is lost when Mario is smaller or is Bunny Mario.
This ability can also be used in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS when a character jumps on top of a Spindrift or into a Tweester. Luigi also uses it when he is coming down from a Somersault.
In Super Mario Sunshine the player can also use it anytime by rotating the control stick and then Jumping.
Mario or Luigi can also Spin Jump in New Super Mario Bros. when they jump off of a spring. This move will also appear in the upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
