Charge Jump
- This article is about the move in Mario Kart World. For the move first appearing in Super Mario Bros. 2, also referred to as a "charge jump", see Crouching High Jump. For the Badge from Paper Mario, see Jump Charge.
The Charge Jump is a technique introduced in Mario Kart World. By holding down the drift button while driving straight, the player can charge up a Charge Jump in a similar way to a drift. After the sparks appear, the button can then be released to initiate a Charge Jump in a similar fashion to a trick. After the jump, the player is granted a small speed boost similar to a Mini-Turbo. As the jump is charged, the sparks are blue, then yellow, then rainbow, with longer charges giving a longer speed boost. The sparks will turn rainbow only if Smart Steering is off. Once the Charge Jump has been performed, the player can then also perform a trick off objects as well as initiate a wall ride or rail ride.[1] Steering is limited while a player is charging the jump while on paved roads or off-road while increasing when on the surface of water. The player is 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 turns 180 degrees during the jump, landing while facing the reverse side.
