Jumping

To jump, press up on the control stick, or press the X or Y buttons. All characters feature a second aerial jump, which may be used at any time except while in hitstun, during the animation of an attack, or if your character is falling in "helpless" mode (after an air-dodge). Falco features the highest first jump in the game, and Bowser the shortest. For more information about game physics, see Fall Speed, Weight, and Traction.
