Split the Run moves[edit]
Okay so, I think our move coverage has advanced to a point where we should have "Rolling Jump" as it's own page, as a follow up for rolling. Having it merged to this page is a bit like if Long Jump was on the same page as crouch.
The real talking point is Landing Roll, which is here mostly because Donkey Kong (Game Boy) is here. But the Landing Roll isn't the only kind of rolling in the game, because Mario rolls when moving off Pause Blocks and when Edge Climbing with the same properties as the Landing Roll, to the point he can Rolling Jump from both of those states. I'm thinking the Landing Jump is better thought of as a subset of rolling in Super Mario Run, which would mean it should have it's own page while the concept of rolling in general in Run remains here.
This is backed up by the game's entry on Rolling Jump, which says, "Tap the screen while rolling to do a rolling leap," with nary a proper noun "Landing Roll" in sight. This is slightly short circuited by how I don't think Tips and Tricks uses proper nouns within its entries on moves at all, but the point stands that the Rolling Jump is querying for states broader than the Landing Roll meaning there is a broader state than the Landing Roll meaning the Landing Roll should be split as a variant of rolling.
