The '''Floaty Jump''' is a move used only by six characters: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Yellow Toad]], [[Blue Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Blue Toad]], [[Cosmic Wario]], and [[Princess Peach]]. This move is used differently by each character.

The '''Floating Jump''' (sometimes known as the '''Floaty Jump''') is a move primarily used by [[Princess Peach]].


It was first (and mainly) used by  Peach. Peach can Jump and hold the Jump button during a Jump to temporarily float a short horizontal distance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|Super Smash Bros.]] [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]''. In later games, such as ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', she can use an umbrella to float. She also uses her umbrella as her [[Princess Peach#Peach Parasol|up special]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
The Floating Jump first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where the player can hold the [[jump]] button during a jump to have Peach vertically hover in place briefly. This ability was the result of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' being a repurposed version of ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', with Peach inheriting Lina's abilities, including her jump. The move returns in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] (as of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Peach's debut in that series) and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' with the same properties.


Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad or Blue Toad use it when he has a [[Mini Mushroom]], and is able to fall slower than usual. The brothers and Toads can use it to reach areas not accessible with a normal Jump. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario and Luigi can use the [[cape]] to slowly descend from a fall. Luigi also uses the weaker type of Floaty Jump, called the [[Scuttle]], which is a bit lower and only makes his descent from a Jump slower than normal. Luigi uses it again in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' after a normal or Double-Jump. It is very similar to [[Yoshi]]'s [[Flutter Jump]].

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', the move works differently, as Peach slowly descends for as long as the screen is held instead of briefly hovering.


[[Cosmic Wario]] can use this move in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', but normal [[Wario]] can't.
In later games, such as ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Peach can use [[Peach's Parasol|her parasol]] to float, though in the latter two games, she still slowly descends. She also uses her parasol as her [[Peach Parasol (move)|up special move]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, where it also slows her fall. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this move, as well as the parasol, is also present for [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and works in the same fashion as Peach's, due to her being an Echo Fighter of Peach.
 
The Floating Jump also appears in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', where it appears as [[Mini Peach]]'s special move. It is performed whenever the toy walks off a platform or a ledge, making it capable of floating across large gaps. This grants Mini Peach access to areas other [[Mini]]s cannot reach. The move needs to be executed in [[Level 6]] to access Mini Peach's assigned [[amiibo Door]] by removing a [[Long Spring]] that leads to it. The door leads to Mini Peach's set of levels, [[Balloon Float Castle]], where it makes extensive use of this ability.
 
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', Peach performs this jump in her unlock cutscene, and when jumping off high ground in [[Beacon Beach]] and entering a new world or [[MegaDragonBowser]]'s arena if she is in the party.
 
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', [[Funky Kong]] can perform this move using his surfboard.
 
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', [[Toadette]] can use this move as [[Peachette]]; it works exactly like how Peach's does in ''Super Mario Run''.
 
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Peach performs a Floating Jump as she descends from the [[Goal Pole]] of the [[Training Course (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|Training Course]].<ref>{{cite|author=Illumination|date=April 3, 2023|url=youtu.be/yP-Qduvw9zY|title=The Super Mario Bros.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', Peach does not naturally have access to the Floating Jump. However, all playable characters can equip the Parachute Cap [[badge (Super Mario Bros.

The Floating Jump (sometimes known as the Floaty Jump) is a move primarily used by Princess Peach.

The Floating Jump first appears in Super Mario Bros. 2, where the player can hold the jump button during a jump to have Peach vertically hover in place briefly. This ability was the result of Super Mario Bros. 2 being a repurposed version of Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, with Peach inheriting Lina's abilities, including her jump. The move returns in the Super Smash Bros. series (as of Super Smash Bros. Melee, Peach's debut in that series) and Super Mario 3D World with the same properties.

In Super Mario Run, the move works differently, as Peach slowly descends for as long as the screen is held instead of briefly hovering.

In later games, such as Super Princess Peach, Yoshi's Island DS, and Super Paper Mario, Peach can use her parasol to float, though in the latter two games, she still slowly descends. She also uses her parasol as her up special move in the Super Smash Bros. series, where it also slows her fall. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, this move, as well as the parasol, is also present for Daisy, and works in the same fashion as Peach's, due to her being an Echo Fighter of Peach.

The Floating Jump also appears in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, where it appears as Mini Peach's special move. It is performed whenever the toy walks off a platform or a ledge, making it capable of floating across large gaps. This grants Mini Peach access to areas other Minis cannot reach. The move needs to be executed in Level 6 to access Mini Peach's assigned amiibo Door by removing a Long Spring that leads to it. The door leads to Mini Peach's set of levels, Balloon Float Castle, where it makes extensive use of this ability.

In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Peach performs this jump in her unlock cutscene, and when jumping off high ground in Beacon Beach and entering a new world or MegaDragonBowser's arena if she is in the party.

In the Nintendo Switch version of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Funky Kong can perform this move using his surfboard.

In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Toadette can use this move as Peachette; it works exactly like how Peach's does in Super Mario Run.

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Peach performs a Floating Jump as she descends from the Goal Pole of the Training Course.[1]

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Peach does not naturally have access to the Floating Jump. However, all playable characters can equip the Parachute Cap badge, which functions similarly to Peach's Floating Jump from Super Mario Run but uses a cap instead.
