History Main / DoubleJump

* ''VideoGame/VentureKid'': You can buy this move from the video game's shop.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sora gains access to Doubleflight, as do Roxas and Kairi in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIIIReMind''. Unlike the others, including Riku and Aqua, Sora uses Doubleflight by summoning a burst of wind beneath him. Sora also has Doubleflight by default on his Element Form, but can't use it in his normal form until [[WesternAnimation/{{Frozen}} Arendelle]].

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sora gains access to Doubleflight, as do Roxas and Kairi in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIIIReMind''. Unlike the others, including Riku and Aqua, Sora uses Doubleflight by summoning a burst of wind beneath him.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', Riku gets his own Doubleflight ability, which he retains in ''Kingdom Hearts III.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' Aqua get this as an ability called Doubleflight, and it seems to be explicitly magical, because when she does her second jump there's a large burst of magic at her feet, propelling her upwards.
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', Riku gets his own Doubleflight ability.
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sora gains access to Doubleflight, and unlike Riku and Aqua, he double-jumps with a burst of wind beneath his feet. Roxas and Kairi can also use Doubleflight in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIIIReMind'', and use ephemeral platforms of light to do so like Riku and Aqua.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', Sora has the Aerial Dodge growth ability. Unlike most double jumps, it doesn't really make Sora jump that much higher, it just gives him more air time, but it also does give him some invincibility frames because of its spinning aspect, hence the name.
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' Aqua get this as an ability called Doubleflight, and it seems to be explictly magical, because when she does her second jump there's a large burst of magic at her feet, propelling her upwards.

* All characters in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' can double jump. Most characters also have a special attack that can be used as a third jump, while still others can can jump several more times because they can fly.
** 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).
** Meta Knight can be particularly annoying to fight against, as ''three'' of his special attacks give him lift, he can jump up to 5 times, and can glide.

* A standard ability in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''. Chipp, being a {{Ninja}}, can ''triple''-jump. Even the MightyGlacier Potemkin, who has so much muscle that he weighs 1000 pounds, can double jump (but he can't run.)
** In ''-STRIVE-'', Nagoriyuki and Goldlewis can't double jump, but Potemkin still can.
** Sadly, his spiritual successor [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Iron Tager]], can't do it.
* ''VideoGame/{{Brawlhalla}}'': Every character can triple jump, ''and'' has an upwards aerial attack that gives an additional boost.

* In the third ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fighting game for the Super Famicom, ''Super Battle'', Female Ranma and Shampoo can double-jump. But only if their starting jump was a forward or backwards somersault, rather than straight up.

* In ''VideoGame/TouhouHisoutenScarletWeatherRhapsody'', each character's double jump is actually a flight command, which consumes some of your [[{{Mana}} spirit orbs]] to execute.
* Since jumping is more a feature of the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series than ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', most of the ''Tekken'' side gained increased jumping ability in ''VideoGame/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.
* In the ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' series, Momiji retains this skill from [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden her original franchise]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Divekick}}'' has two characters that can double jump - resident {{troll}} Stream must jump twice before he can even follow up with a kick, while the FinalBoss, S-Kill can either kick or dive again after emerging from his teleports.

* 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 Recoil Boost of the unlockable [[SawedOffShotgun Force-A-Nature]] or by holding the also unlockable [[BatterUp Atomizer]]. He can even do a ''quadruple'' jump if you have both.
** Equipping the (also unlockable) The Winger gives you a boost of 25% extra jump height while you hold it out. If you have the Atomizer bat, The Winger pistol and the Force-a-Nature, Scout can jump some crazy distances.
** The Soda Popper was changed from granting mini-crits when the Hype meter is filled to giving him ''four'' extra jumps. Combine that with the Winger you basically turn into a bird.
* ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004'' has double jumping active by default in deathmatch mode. There's even a mutator that enables ''quad'' jump.
** This could be further augmented with the Low Gravity mutator. It's possible to soar across half of the enormous Onslaught maps with these on, leaping from vehicle to vehicle like [[Film/TheMatrix Neo]]. Unfortunately, Low Gravity is disabled in ''VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII'' on Warfare maps.
* ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' eventually gave you an upgrade called the Long Jump Module, which is basically a miniature jet pack that fires for a brief second and propels you much further forward than a regular jump would. The way to activate it was by pressing jump and duck at the same time. ''VideoGame/BlackMesa'' changed the control to pressing jump twice, effectively turning it into a horizontal double jump.
* ''VideoGame/SniperPathOfVengeance'' has a bug where trying to momentarily duck while at the apex of a jump (holding the jump key) results in a double jump -- an infinite jump to be exact.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', Genji is able to perform a double jump thanks to his passive Cybernetic Agility skill. He lampshades how silly that is in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' (although, he actually ''can't'' double jump in Heroes).
* In ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge'', this can be done by exploiting the [[GoodBadBugs wallrun kick glitch]], and is a common speedrunning technique.

* Double jumps are a common maneuver for Pilots in ''VideoGame/{{Titanfall}}'' and ''VideoGame/Titanfall2''. {{Justified|Trope}} by Pilots wearing Jump Kits, small jetpacks that enable double jumping and other LeParkour moves.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' temporarily forms butterfly wings when she double jumps, {{Justified|Trope}} as she's a witch.
** Even more justified - if you read one of the books in the Records section of the menu, you learn that she made a deal with the demon Madame Butterfly for this power. When Bayonetta is standing in light, [[TheShadowKnows her shadow has butterfly wings]] to signify this deal.

* The Japanese [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuchinoko Tsuchinoko]], a snake-like spirit. As Wiki/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."

* The ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' in a very early issue somehow does this by flexing to avoid face planting into the side of a bridge.

** Alucard from ''Symphony of the Night'' is perhaps the only character who has his double jump explained in some way: while most other protagonists simply jump a second time, Alucard's cape briefly [[CapeWings transforms into a pair of wings]] and flaps to hoist him up.

* ''VideoGame/AliceMadnessReturns'' [[UpToEleven ups this to eleven]] by making it a ''quadruple'' jump with the ability to do a ParachutePetticoat descent between each jump.

* Cranked UpToEleven in ''VideoGame/{{Brawlhalla}}'', where every character can triple jump, ''and'' has an upwards aerial attack that gives an additional boost.

** The Soda Popper takes it UpToEleven. It was changed from granting mini-crits when the Hype meter is filled to giving him ''four'' extra jumps. Combine that with the Winger you basically turn into a bird.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' got a few of these in ''Cataclysm'': anyone playing a goblin character can jump and then use their race-specific rocket boosters to jump again. Warriors and hunters can use their Heroic Leap and Disengage abilities mid jump as well, which more closely resemble the original trope.

* In ''VideoGame/XMenLegends'', Beast and Nightcrawler can double jump. In the sequel, Beast is no longer playable and Nightcrawler has somehow lost the ability (pressing the jump button twice makes him teleport instead), but Toad now offers it.
** In both Legends games most characters could jump and do a strong-attack to get a sort of 'mini' double jump.
*** Which towards the end of the first installment, with all of the speed-boosting equipment and abilities, it was possible to make Wolverine 'fly' this way.
* Amaterasu in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' is capable of double-jumping. It's one of the "God Techniques", which according to the sensei cannot be learned by ordinary people (or wolves). It should also be noted that after having learned the Holy Eagle technique (double jump) you can later upgrade it to a triple jump. Considering that by the end of the game Amaterasu can walk on water, summon lightning, water, ice, and fire, walk up walls, and make plants bloom, a Double Jump is really the least of her abilities.

* Of course, ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'', where the Secret Apprentice gets both a double jump and the air dash; some parts of the game (at least on [=PS3=]/Xbox 360) require that you use both-though again, he is a powerful Force-Sensitive.

* All characters in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' can double jump initially, except [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Bartz]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Zidane]], who triple jump. Everyone can learn Jump Times Boost++, which gives three more jumps. However, Zidane is beyond this - with Jump Times Boost++ and his [[SuperMode EX mode]] he can jump '''sixteen''' times in a row! But wait, there's more! If you dodge in the air (though only in the first game; this no longer applies as of ''012: Duodecim''), it ''resets your mid-air jumps!'' So Zidane could jump sixteen times, dodge, then jump another '''''fifteen''''' times without ever touching the ground.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesEchoesOfTime'': unique to Selkies, unless you use a scratch card, which will grant it to the entire party.
* The Dragoon Gauntlets in the Advance and PSP versions of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' give Kain the Double Jump ability, which simply increases the damage bonus from his Jump attack and changes the attack's animation to show him bouncing off of the target before striking again.

* An inherent ability of all lightsaber-wielding characters in ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame Lego Star Wars]]''. Of course, it's the massive single jumps that are mostly used for unlocking secrets, but still. Somewhat justified for Jedi & Sith as being a Force power, but no explanation is given for how General Grevious pulls it off... also, for some reason, Jar-Jar Binks can do it too.
** In the level builder of LEGO Indiana Jones, the engineer character, and the other ones that you use to build the level, can infinite jump until they hit the roof of the level -- and one of them is for putting down baseplates, so he can infinite jump while holding the floor.

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

* ''Film/DuelToTheDeath'': two swordsmen jump high up into the air, then position their swords beneath their feet and push off in mid-air to jump even higher. Don't think about it too hard.
