Footstool Jump is a type of move in the Super Smash Bros. series. It first appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and has returned in every installment since.
Description
A character can execute a Footstool Jump by having them jump while just above an opponent's head. It can be done up to five times in succession before landing. Performing a Footstool Jump also allows for characters to meteor smash their opponent downward while using them as a spring.
While any character can perform a Footstool Jump, official screenshots have prioritized showcasing various Mario characters use the move. A few screenshots from Smash Bros. DOJO!! showed Yoshi perform it on Wario. An official Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshot shows Mario and Princess Peach performing a Footstool Jump on Bowser and Samus respectively.
Real-world influences
In competitive gameplay
Players have used footstool jump as means of performing combos including a technique used when the opponent is off-stage.
Trivia
- Though the Footstool Jump was introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the cutscene for when Luigi is introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee's Adventure mode shows him bouncing off of Mario.
