History Main / DoubleJump

* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'''s Thief (after his class change to Ninja) once survived an outrageously long fall by double-jumping just before impact. Dragoon also survived falling off the underside of an island by using his jump attack while in mid-air, though he still needed to home in on a target.

** [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld That is]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine unless]] [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii he has]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 Yoshi]] [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU equipped]]. Or the slightly more permanent options of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine F.L.U.D.D.'s Rocket Nozzle]], the [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii Propeller Suit, Propeller Block]] or [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand Propeller]] [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld Box]] (all of which have considerably stronger second jumps than Mario's initial jump, and a floating effect from the propeller items).

* Surprisingly for a series that's used nearly every other jumping trope, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] has almost never had a double jump. He had a spin that gave him a bit of hang-time in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' and its sequel and ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', but that's about it.

* The Scout class in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2.'' Double-jumping is actually one of the class's greatest tactical advantages, since it allows Scout players to reach otherwise inaccessible areas and surprise their enemies. He can achieve a third jump with with the RecoilBoost of the unlockable [[SawedOffShotgun Force-A-Nature]] or by holding the also unlockable [[BatterUp Atomizer]] (taking 10 damage per jump). He can even do a ''quadruple'' jump if you have both.

* Several Creator/{{Capcom}} fighting games starting with ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'', and the entire ''MarvelVsCapcom'' series. The earliest double jumper in that series is probably Storm (justified in her case in that she already has the ability to fly).

* ''SlyCooper'' can double jump. In the third game, his buddy Bentley with the rocket wheelchair can upgrade to a ''quad'' jump.

* Most ''{{Castlevania}}'' games starting with ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' have an item that allows the use of double-jumping. There is often another item that allows for infinite long leaps straight upwards (sometimes draining MP).

** Soma in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Dawn of Sorrow]]'' does a flip in the middle of his jump, not that that justifies anything.
** In ''PortraitOfRuin'', Charlotte double jumps by briefly summoning and riding a broomstick. Why this doesn't enable her to just ''fly'' remains unknown. Her partner Jonathan just jumps again in the air for no readily explained reason.

*** CircleOfTheMoon just calls it the "Double".

* This is available as a PowerUp in ''KnyttStories''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' justifies this as one of the protagonist's psychic powers - you can even see him materialize a temporary midair ball to jump off of.

** Meta Knight can be particularly annoying to fight against, as ''three'' of his special attacks give him lift, can jump up to 5 times, and can fly.

* ''VideoGame/{{Divekick}}'''s FinalBoss, S-Kill, is the only character with the ability to double dive - once he teleports out of a dive, he can either kick (the only option available to the rest of the cast) or dive again.

-->-- '''{{Spider-Man}}''', ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan ([=PS2=])''

-->-- '''{{Spider-Man}}''', ''Ultimate Spiderman ([=PS2=])''

* ''VideoGame/{{Divekick}}'''s FinalBoss, S-Kill, is the only character with the ability to double dive - one he teleports out of a dive, he can either kick like most other characters, or dive again.

* ''{{Divekick}}'''s FinalBoss, S-Kill, is the only character with the ability to double dive - one he teleports out of a dive, he can either kick like most other characters, or dive again.

* Since jumping is more a feature of the StreetFighter series than {{Tekken}}, most of the Tekken side gained increased jumping ability in StreetFighterXTekken. Lili is the only one however to gain double jump, though it's executed on her way down instead of at the apex of her jump.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' temporarily forms butterfly wings when she double jumps, {{Justified|Trope}} as she's a witch..

* This is a staple feature of the ''GhostsAndGoblins'' games.

*** Which will return in ''VideoGame/SonicColors''. In addition, Sonic can jump ''infinitely'' under water or with DS-exclusive burst wisp.
