Jump

The trademark move of the whole Marioverse. This move is is easily recognizable to all, even people who have not played any of the games.

Who can use it
Pretty much anything with legs can use it. Even characters without legs, like Boo can use it. Mario was also the first to use it.

Where has it been used
Donkey Kong was the first game it has been used in and also the first game in the Marioverse. It has appeared in almost every Mario game to date. It was also the first game with a jump action.

What can it do
It elevates a character temporarily in the air when on the floor. In the platformers you can break and activate blocks by hitting them from underneath during a jump. In some sidescrollers, you had to be normal Mario to break bricks. There are many variation to this move. The height and width of the jump varies on the game and character. On the Mario Party Series all of the characters jump to the same height, thought the short(Ex.Toad) characters technically jump higher because they jump to the same height as the tall (Ex.Waluigi) characters.
