Charge Jump

This article is about the move in Mario Kart World. For the move first appearing in Super Mario Bros. 2 and also referred to as a "charge jump", see Crouching High Jump.

Mario charging up the Charge Jump

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 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 a Wall Ride or Rail Ride. Players cannot steer as well as normal when they are 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. When performing a Charge Jump in reverse, the player will turn 180 degrees during the jump.
