Crouching High Jump

The Power Squat Jump is a jump that Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad can perform in Super Mario Bros. 2 and its remakes. It is done by pressing down on the Control Pad, and then charging the jump. Unlike the normal jump move, this jump makes the characters jump higher and reach places they normally can't.

Altough this move did not appear in early versions of Mario Bros., later, in the Mario Bros. remakes found in the Super Mario Advance series (and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) Mario and Luigi could also perform this move.
