Hey, so I'm picking out some additions to Category:Jumps and Spin Pipe is an edge case. Generally, I think being launched by a separate object is ever so slightly out of scope for the category, except that Trampolines are special and being launched from those is a jump because Spring Jump is a jump.
Spin Pipe is on the edge. In the original game, you could very well make the case that the move starts with Luigi jumping to get the Bros. into the air, followed by a repeated jump set up on the enemies. But in the remake, the initial movement of Spin Pipe is made stilted in a way that the pipe looks like it levitates to the starting point. But the rest of the animation is still a repeated jump attack against the target. So, is this a jump or not? I'm leaning no, to avoid diluting a focused category. Including Spin Pipe would also mean including things like Bye-Bye Cannon. But there's a case for just putting all RPG attacks that trip jump weaknesses in the Jump category. But I dislike that case because Luiginary Ball trips jump weaknesses and no human would call that attack a Jump. Salmancer (talk) 21:45, May 28, 2025 (EDT)
