Superjump
- For other uses of the term "Super Jump", seeSuper Jump (disambiguation).
Asuperjump is a type ofglitch where, under certain conditions, acharacter will be sent far upwards in their neutral falling animation. The force is often enough to launch the character past the topblast line (because the character is not inhitstun, they will not beKO'd). If a solidplatform gets in the way while the character is going upwards, they will float under it for several seconds (notjumping and not being in hitstun means no bouncing off ceilings). Notable superjumps include theBoomerang superjump,Flight of Ganon,super death jump, and thesize change super jump.Jigglypuff'sshield jump can be considered a superjump; however, it is not a glitch, and it canKO it (and in fact always will without an intervening ceiling).
Superjump physics[edit]
Most superjumps follow the same principle: If an action is interrupted between a large upwards force and a comparably large downwards force, the downwards force will not happen and the uninhibited upwards force will fling the character skywards. For example, ifKirby is using hisup throw and the character he's grabbing vanishes after the upwards force but before the downwards force, Kirby will be sent very high.
A similar mechanic enableddouble jump canceling inSuper Smash Bros. andSuper Smash Bros. Melee.
