[[File:Double Jump.JPG|thumb|{{SSBB|Toon Link}} double jumping in ''Brawl''.]]

In contrast with jumps from the ground, each character only has one height of a double jump, whereas the player can control grounded jumps to be either [[short hop]]s or full hops. The exception to this is with characters with more than one midair jump, as these usually decay in height with each successive jump.  

Double jumps are a lot more varied in animation than single jumps. Most characters twist or flip, and some characters inflate themselves ([[Kirby]], [[Jigglypuff]], [[King Dedede]]) or flap their wings ([[Meta Knight]], [[Charizard]], [[Pit]], [[Dark Pit]], [[Bayonetta]], [[Ridley]], [[Kazooie]]). During these animations, all characters cast a double circle platform beneath them that disappears after the jump is completed (except for {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in which a smoke ring is formed instead from the base of his Robo Burner; this does not waste any fuel from his recovery). Like jumps from the ground, characters have a different animation if they are jumping backward. For example, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] spin around when performing a regular midair jump, but do rapid backward somersaults when performing a backward midair jump. This does not apply to characters with multiple double jumps, in which case they simply turn 180 degrees horizontally as they jump. If a character flips, their [[collision bubble]] moves accordingly, though this has no effect on the jump itself.

Most characters have their vertical speed instantly set to their given value upon using their double jump, providing an immediate height boost. Certain characters instead have double jumps that have a short pause before applying a slower and constant upwards boost, controlled by animation rather than an immediate velocity change. Depending on the game, the floatiness of such second jumps allows for several techniques such as [[double jump cancel]]ing and rising aerials. [[Ness]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Lucas]], [[Kazuya]] and [[Sora]] have this type of double jump. [[Yoshi]] had a delayed double jump in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 64]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''Brawl'', while [[Peach]] had it in ''Melee'' before losing it in ''Brawl''.

Most characters can only jump once while in the air; however, some characters can jump multiple times without touching the ground. Most characters cannot turn around in midair using their double jump, but all characters with multi-jumps can turn around when in midair by using jump while holding away from the direction the character is facing on the Control Stick. [[Yoshi]] can also do this despite having only one double jump. Anybody with a special with low lag may also find it useful to turn around midair by b-reversing that special. [[Steve]]’s Minecart with no iron is a good example of this.

There are three values: the jump multiplier ('''m'''), the jump base ('''b'''), and the air jump multiplier ('''a''')&mdash;the [[control stick]]'s vertical position is always assumed to be 80. The air jump multiplier is applied after multiplying the jump multiplier by the stick position and adding the jump base. A character's gravity ('''g''') is also applied on the same frame as the double jump. The resulting jump force formula is <code>(80*m+b)*a-g</code>. {{SSB|Ness}} and {{SSB|Yoshi}} have delayed double jumps, using an animation for their height instead of using any of their listed values.

Air jump force is calculated using the character's fullhop jump force multiplied by the air jump multiplier. A character's double jump height is calculated similarly to a fullhop, using the respective jump force value as an overriding initial vertical velocity. Unlike grounded jumps, the first frame of a double jump is always affected by [[gravity]] as the character is already airborne.

 

*Characters with delayed double jumps have velocity mapped to the animation of the double jump. As a result, the air jump force is seemingly unused.

Double jumping is a common mechanic in many platforming video games, with the oldest game to include such an ability being [[Namco]]'s {{uvm3|Dragon Buster}}. Occasionally it is given as a power-up or an upgrade, while other times it is just a natural ability. Fighters who can double jump in their native games include [[Bayonetta]], [[Daisy]], [[Kazooie]], [[Kirby]], [[Samus]], [[Sonic]], [[Wario]], [[Yoshi]], [[King Dedede]], and [[Meta Knight]].
