Flutter Jump

Flutter Jump is an ability used by various characters—most commonly the Yoshis—that can be used not only to prolong descent after a jump but to keep a character airborne temporarily. The move was first used in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. There is a similar move named Scuttle, which involves the character only waving their legs while in midair.

In Yoshi franchise

A Flutter Jump can be used by pressing the A button while a Yoshi is in midair. Performing a Flutter Jump allows a Yoshi to go slightly higher and farther. The Flutter Jump appears in every Yoshi platforming game, acting the same throughout each appearance.

In Super Mario series

Super Mario Sunshine

After performing a Triple Jump, a Yoshi can then perform a Flutter Jump.

Super Mario 64 DS

It is named Flutter Kick, and is only usable by Yoshi.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

It is used by Mario's partner Yoshi. This Yoshi can use a flutter jump by using the "Y" button while Mario is riding him. The ability is used to travel over larger chasms Mario cannot normally travel over, which can be useful for jumping over tricky passages.

In Mario Power Tennis

Yoshi's Offensive Power Shot, Rainbow Flutter, involves him performing a Flutter Jump before hitting the tennis ball

Crossover appearances

Super Smash Bros. series

Flutter Jump is used by Yoshi in every Super Smash Bros. since the first and titular game. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the move is named Hover.
