It is done by holding down on the {{button|nes|pad}} to charge up and then jumping. Characters do not necessarily have to remain ducking; they can keep the charge until they actually jump, though it resets if the player moves left/right before jumping. Unlike the normal jump move, this jump makes the characters jump higher and reach places they normally can't. In ''Super Mario Advance'', the characters perform a backflip upon using the charge jump.

Although this move did not appear in early versions of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', the ''Mario Bros.'' remakes found in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' let Mario and Luigi perform this move.
