Midair Jump (Super Smash Bros.)

{Mergeto|Jump}}

Mario performing a Midair Jump in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The Midair Jump is a move that can be performed by all characters in all three games of the Super Smash Bros. series: Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This move can be performed by pressing the jump button or tilting the Control Stick upward when a character is in midair, which will make a character to boost upward. This move can serve many helpful purposes in a match, such as reaching high platforms and recovering from being knocked off of the stage. Some characters' midair jumps can go higher than other characters', and certain characters, such as Kirby, Jigglypuff, King Dedede, and winged characters can even perform multiple midair jumps without touching the ground.

Certain items can change the effect of a midair jump. For example, a Bunny Hood will augment the height gained from both a normal jump and a midair jump, and the Screw Attack item, when equipped, turns any character's midair jump into a spinning attack that deals damage to the opponent. When a character is carrying or using a heavy item, such as a Hammer or a Crate, he/she will be unable to perform a midair jump.
