History Main / DoubleJump

** In ''VideoGame/SonicAdvance2'', ''3'' and both ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' games, both Sonic and Blaze can perform a double jump, but only after being launched from a spring or similar device. Blaze's animation somewhat justifies her double jump, as she appears to summon flames and uses them as jets. Yes, her double jump is bigger than Sonic's.

** [[SupermanSubstitute All Might]] does not have the power of flight, but his SuperStrength does allow him to kick the hair hard enough to invoke this trope along with NotQuiteFlight. His successor [[TheHero Izuku Midoriya]] eventually does it too, during his fight against Overhaul in the climax of the Internship Arc. Although he is only able to do this thanks to, Eri, who has a Quirk that allows her to [[SemanticSuperpower rewind anything she touches to a previous state]]. This allows Midoriya to temporarily use the full power of [[SuperEmpowering One For All]] without fear of breaking his bones.
** The retired hero who taught both All Might and Midoriya, Gran Torino, is able to do this thanks to his Quirk: Jet. This Quirk gives him the power to expel the air that he breathes from the soles of his feet giving him both NotQuiteFlight and SuperSpeed. He has a CombatParkour fighting style where he jumps around using walls, floors, and ceilings in order to gain momentum to confuse and then attack his opponents when they're off balance, but hes also capable of jumping in midair by expelling enough air from his feet to propel him forward. He also uses this if he needs to stop his forward momentum. This can be seen during the Hero Killer Arc when he fights an ArtificialHuman Nomu.

[[folder:Myth and Legend]]
* The Japanese [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuchinoko Tsuchinoko]], a snake-like spirit. As Website/TheOtherWiki says, "Some accounts also describe the tsuchinoko as being able to jump up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) in distance followed immediately by a second jump while still in the air."

-->-- '''Franchise/SpiderMan''', ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan2005''

* The page quote is a LampshadeHanging Spidey makes in ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderman'' after you're instructed how to double-jump.

* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'' has an interesting variation: the title character can grab an enemy mook, then jump off the enemy to launch himself higher sometimes chaining it with multiple enemies. [[{{Catchphrase}} Wahoo!!]]

** Add to this an air dash, which also recovers when damaging things. It's entirely possible to jump, airdash, jump again, then shoot an enemy, jump and dash again, and continue like this witohut touching ground indefinitely. In fact, there are even times that the game REQUIRES this of you.

* ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' has Jak simply thrust his legs down as if he were litterally jumping off of thin air. Daxter could do this too in ''VideoGame/{{Daxter}}''... so maybe this is just something all the people in the Jak 'verse can do.

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'' (the first game) explained this as being one of Dante's demonic powers. The second game kept the "Air Hike" as one of his standard abilities, probably because the sprawling environments made it so useful, though the later games returned to needing a purchase. It's worth noting that the games, despite their normally loose interpretation of physics, actually have Double Jumps that make more sense than most. When you use it, Dante momentarily makes a magic platform appear beneath his feet, off which he jumps. In ''4'', [[SuperMode the Devil Trigger]] allows you to do this twice in a row, effectively giving you a triple jump, and with Trickster style he can create a makeshift wall instead for AirDashing.

** Ness, Lucas, Mewtwo, [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Kazuya]], and [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] have unusual double jumps that are floaty and give them much more height.
** Yoshi's double jump is unique from the others in that it goes ''very'' high and has some armor properties on it. Yoshi is also the only character besides Jigglypuff those up special is useless as a recovery move (though in later games it gave a little bit of vertical momentum to delay descent).

** ''VideoGame/SonicBoom: Rise of Lyric'' gives all the characters the ability to double-jump, and Amy Rose can even do a triple jump. A notorious glitch, since patched, allowed Knuckles to jump indefinitely by pausing and unpausing the game.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' video game ''Shadow Showdown'' actually {{Lampshades}} this trope: "For bigger leaps, jump in the air. That's right, ignore the rules of physics and jump twice."

* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': Yukishiro Enishi outjumps Kenshin in their final duel using this technique (and there's an attempt to justify it in terms of real world physics, but the explanation doesn't really make sense).

* Cloud pulls off an assisted version in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'', in which nearly every party member from the original game (including [[spoiler: Aeris]]) takes it in turns to leap up to meet him in mid-air before throwing him even higher. By this point in the movie the laws of physics have pretty much given up and are sulking in the corner.
* The titular character of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' could conceivably do this using a shadow clone, but it was Might Guy who executed the first double-jump of the manga. In mid-air he summoned a tortoise and used its back as a springboard. Naruto also did this in his fight against Gaara. He even did a triple jump.
* In ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'', Inori's Void gives Shu this power, among other things.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' has two primary examples:
** [[SupermanSubstitute All Might]] does not have the power of flight, but his SuperStrength does allow him to kick the hair hard enough to invoke this trope along with NotQuiteFlight. His successor [[TheHero Izuku Midoriya]] eventually does it too, during his fight against Overhaul in the climax of the Internship Arc.

* ''Literature/{{Campione}}'': Erica Blandelli is able to do this by summoning the "Boots of Hermes", which creates a magic circle in the air that she can use as a platform to jump much higher and further.

* ''LightNovel/{{Campione}}'': Erica Blandelli is able to do this by summoning the "Boots of Hermes", which creates a magic circle in the air that she can use as a platform to jump much higher and further.

* ''VideoGame/{{Celeste}}'': Madeline can double-jump. There are also different pieces of powerup and environment that can give her additional jumps on the fly, and late in the game [[spoiler: after reconciling with her dark side]] she learns to triple-jump.

* ''VideoGame/BlasterMaster'' (PAL version) and ''VideoGame/LegacyOfTheWizard'' both have a glitch that allows the player indefinite jumps in mid-air by jumping right after unpausing the game.

* ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon'':

* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': As Mei is {{roofhopping}} to the 4*Town concert, she discovers that she can get an extra boost by changing between her normal and panda forms in mid-air. She also does this while [[spoiler: battling her mother, [[ColossusClimb who had become a giant panda monster]].]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': Mei is able to jump in mid-air by transforming mid-jump, pushing off the resulting pink cloud. She chains this into indefinitely long multi-jumps while dealing with the movie's final major crisis.

** Of the three classes, Hunter jumps closely resemble the classic Mario-style double jump. In the original game, Bladedancer Hunters also have access to Blink, a mid-air teleport that replaces your second jump and inherits your existing momentum, though this was removed in the sequel when the subclass was reworked into Arcstrider.
