Mario charging up the Charge Jump

TheCharge Jump is a technique introduced inMario Kart World. By holding down the drift button while driving straight, the player can charge up a Charge Jump in a similar way to adrift. After the sparks appear, the button can then be released to initiate a Charge Jump in a similar fashion to atrick. After the jump, the player is granted a small speed boost similar to aMini-Turbo. As the jump is charged, the sparks will be blue, then yellow, then rainbow, with longer charges giving a longer speed boost. The sparks will only turn rainbow if Smart Steering is off. Once the Charge Jump has been performed, the player can then also trick off of objects as well as initiate aWall Ride orRail Ride.^[1] Steering is limited while a player is charging the jump. They are also slowed down, so Charge Jumping repeatedly does not make them go faster, even on water. The player can also charge up a Charge Jump while driving in reverse; while performing a Charge Jump in reverse, the player will turn 180 degrees during the jump, landing whilst facing the reverse side.
