The High Jump is a move that Mario and Luigi can execute in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. The function of the move is to reach high places that are otherwise unreachable with a normal jump.

The move is taught by the Starshade Bros. in Stardust Fields alongside with the Spin Jump. With Luigi as the rear brother and selecting the move using L Button and R Button, pressing B Button will make Luigi jump on top of Mario, continuously bouncing on him. Pressing B Button again while this happens will cause the two brothers to jump high into the air, reaching higher places that are otherwise impossible to reach with a normal jump. To cancel the move, the player must press A Button while Luigi is bouncing on top of Mario.

When Mario fills himself up with water, Luigi can use High Jump to make him spit out all the water in him, which can be used to activate fan-like devices that produce coins and mushrooms. Also, when Mario is made smaller via the Mini-Mario move and Luigi attempts to High Jump onto him, making Mario jump when Luigi is directly above will cause him to hit him, producing a coin with each hit, though it causes Luigi to lose HP. This stops when Luigi reaches low enough health. The in-battle equivalent to this move is the Bounce Bros. Bros. Attack.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the player cannot switch between the bros manually by using Start Button. This means the player must select the move using the Touch Screen or by using L Button and R Button in order to use it. Also, since Luigi no longer bounces on Mario continuously, the player can move around while he is on top of Mario, and press B Button whenever they want to perform the High Jump.
