Wall Jump

The Wall Jump is a less commonly used move compared to others.

Who can use it
So far, only Mario and Luigi can use it. Mario is the actually the first person who can use it because it was an exclusive move to him in Super Mario 64 DS, but in New Super Mario Bros. Luigi could use it too.

Where has it been used
It has been used in almost every platformer after Super Mario 64. Currently, New Super Mario Bros. is the latest use of the move.

What is it used for
In narrow passageways you use it to ascend to the top. You jump wall to wall with a little more height with each jump. You can reach great heights or cross wide gaps. It takes a bit of practice to master though.
