Long Jump: Difference between revisions

The '''Long Jump''' (also spelled '''long jump''' and called '''Leap''' on the official ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' website<ref>http://supermario3dland.nintendo.com/#/gameplay/marios-moves/leap</ref>) is a move used in the 3D [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' games]] since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (bar ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', due to the presence of [[F.L.U.D.D.]] and the Hover Nozzle). It also appears in the side-scrolling ''Mario'' games ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' (''Super Mario 3D World'' style only), as well as in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. To use this move, the player usually must [[crouch]] while in motion and [[jump]], causing the character to jump a long horizontal distance. The move is primary used to clear huge gaps between platforms and move faster; this is especially helpful in timed missions.

In ''Super Mario 64'', there is a glitch where Mario can perform this move backwards, which increases his speed, allowing him to access certain areas without having to collect the required number of [[Power Star]]s; this was patched out in the ''Shindō Pak Taiō Version'', [[iQue|iQue Player]], and ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' re-releases.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', this move can be chained with a [[Spin]] to perform a [[Double Kick]], which can defeat enemies and activate items. From these games onward, Mario cannot Long Jump into a [[Wall Kick]].

As of ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Mario can Long Jump out of a [[Roll]] (referred to as a '''Rolling Leap''' in that game), making the jump faster and longer. While Mario can Long Jump backwards, his speed is always capped, unless he moves sideways.<ref>https://youtu.be/Q-uR_6-OuPo?t=469</ref>

In ''Super Mario Run'', characters will Long Jump if the screen is tapped while they are on a [[Long Jump Block]].

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Mario can perform the Long Jump when any of the shoulder buttons ({{button|ns|ZL}}, {{button|ns|ZR}}, {{button|ns|L}}, or {{button|ns|R}}) are pressed when Mario starts crouching after he runs. This can be done for infinite times until he either bumps into a wall, or the player lets go of the button required to do so.

In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', characters can perform a Long Jump in levels in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style much like in the original game<ref>Nintendo. (May 15, 2019). [https://youtu.be/ct1GwHvNKME?t=751 スーパーマリオメーカー 2 Direct 2019.5.16]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 20, 2019.</ref>, by pressing the shoulder buttons while moving.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', stomping enemies during a Long Jump now automatically makes characters perform another Long Jump, rather than a normal jump. The Long Jump speed glitch from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' is also retained.<ref>https://youtu.be/85hiZLrhf98?t=191</ref>
