The '''Flutter Jump''' (alternatively formatted as '''Flutter-Jump'''<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Yoshi's Island DS'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 9.</ref> or '''flutter jump'''), also known as the '''Hovering Jump''' in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', '''Sustained Jump''' in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] material,<ref>Prima Bath. ''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Pages 102, 106, 110, 113.</ref> '''Hover''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and '''flutter kick''' in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', is a characteristic [[jump]]ing technique used by [[Yoshi]] and various other characters throughout the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' and ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchises. It can be used to prolong descending after a jump and to keep a character airborne temporarily. The Flutter Jump has a distinctive appearance and is executed by rapidly moving one's legs and in some cases one's arms as well, until the character starts to float and "walk" on air. This technique can be utilized to reach remote locations, or simply to rescue a character from a [[pit|bottomless pit]].

===''Super Mario'' series===

====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

Flutter Jumping in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' works identically to how it did in the original. [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]] returns in the version 3.0.0 update acting the same as in his ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' appearance.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===

Another variation of the Flutter Jump appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It serves as the field ability of Mario's [[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi partner]] and while riding on him, he can use it to reach ledges that cannot be reached with a normal jump. The ability is similar to [[Parakarry]]'s move in the [[Paper Mario|previous game]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

The Flutter Jump makes a reappearance as the Floating/Floaty Jump effect in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. During the game, Mario and Luigi can obtain the ability to use the Floating Jump by equipping the [[Excite Spring]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

The Flutter Jump appears in all installments of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, again as a move exclusive to Yoshi. The Flutter Jump serves as Yoshi's mid-air jump and covers the greatest distance of all the other mid-air jumps (except for [[Mewtwo]]'s since ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'') as well as granting knockback armor to compensate for the fact that Yoshi lacks a significant recovery move. Yoshi also weaponizes this jump in his down aerial move. It deals up to 56% in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', 53% / 39% in the NTSC and PAL versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' respectively, 35% in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', 29% in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and 34% in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
