Because Mario can jump in several ''Super Mario'' games, most notably in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, only significant examples are mentioned. This also goes for the respective ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'', ''[[Wario (franchise)|Wario]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchises.

====''Donkey Kong''====

====''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)====

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]], Mario has a greater variety of moves related to jumping. If the player jumps then presses down on {{button|gb|Pad}}, Mario does a handstand. From the handstand position, Mario could perform high jumps and wide jumps depending on the situation. Mario could also backflip by walking and then immediately pressing the opposite direction and the jump button, resulting in him going high into the air backwards. Unlike all other 2D Mario titles, ''Donkey Kong'' also punishes the player for falling too far, resulting in Mario losing a life. This jump system has also been used in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario's jump can defeat most enemies. When using [[F.L.U.D.D.]]'s [[F.L.U.D.D.#Nozzles|Hover Nozzle]], Mario can float higher and longer. In addition, if Mario loses health, his jumps become weaker{{ref needed}}.  Also, if Mario jumps over a [[pit]], his jumps are different.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the Jump is a special move that requires 3 [[Flower Point]]s. It does additional damage as a [[Action Command|Timed Hit]], and its power increases with the [[Jump Shoes]]. Mario can use this move from the beginning of the game. Mario's jump is also used by many characters in the game to verify his identity. Everyone also seems to think of it as his most defining characteristic.  

In the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, characters usually jump to hit [[Dice Block]]s. Characters can also jump in various [[minigame]]s. Sometimes characters can jump on their opponents to stun them temporarily (and to jump higher in a few minigames). In some minigames, such as [[Coin Cache]], stunned characters have a lower jumping ability.

''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' used the same concept for jumps as the ''Paper Mario'' series. In addition, the player controls both Mario and Luigi simultaneously using {{button|gba|Pad}}, with Luigi in tow following Mario's movements. Each brother has their own corresponding button – {{button|gba|A}} for Mario and {{button|gba|B}} for Luigi – and it is necessary to use both to get both brothers over pits. On the overworld, Mario and Luigi could also perform the [[High Jump]] and the [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]] to reach higher areas. Many [[Bros. Attack]]s also use jump moves. ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' retains this.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the jump command was identical to how it was in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', however, the [[Piggyback Jump|piggyback jumps]] with [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] increased the number of jump commands in-battle. The Spin Jump returns, and later on the bros learn the [[Baby Spin]] move which allows them to Spin Jump into the babies to launch them even further upwards and makes it possible for them to cross large gaps along with the adult bros. Like Mario and Luigi, the player controls both Baby Mario and Baby Luigi simultaneously using the {{button|ds|pad}} while they are separated from their older selves. The two babies also have their own corresponding button - {{button|ds|X}} for Baby Mario and {{button|ds|Y}} for Baby Luigi.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', jumping in battles works similar to how it did in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' when the adult brothers are with their infant counterparts; Mario and Luigi can perform two jumps with a well-timed action command, dealing twice the damage to enemies. In the overworld, jumping functions the same as it always had in previous games, though there are also 2D side-scrolling segments that take place inside [[Bowser's body]], where the jumps use the mechanics of ''Mario & Luigi'' jumping in a typical ''Super Mario Bros.'' setting.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the Jump attacks for Mario and Luigi are identical in gameplay to the ones in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', down to the 2D areas, although in the [[Dream World]], successful Jump attacks cause several [[Luiginoid]]s to fall on to surrounding enemies after Mario attacks for extra damage. In the overworld, this game uses the Jump field action as usual for the series, and features the Spin Jump and the [[Ball Hop]], a move very similar to the High Jump from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', and seems to be a combination of the aforementioned move and the [[Ball Bros.]] move from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. The {{conjectural|Luiginoid Generator|Luiginary Work}} also uses the Jump action while in the Luiginoid Stack formation.
