Editing Double 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.

Fighters with multiple midair jumps tend to gain substantially less height per jump than the jumps of fighters with only one. There is usually also a brief delay between the end of one jump and being able to start the next. Usually, this delay is small enough for the character to gain a decent amount of height with all of their jumps, but if the character is [[metal]], these multi-jumps become useless or nearly useless.

Characters with multi-jumps usually have poor [[air speed]] (with the exception of Jigglypuff, who has among the best air speed, in exchange for among the worst jump height).

[[Bayonetta]] can also restore her double jump by inputting [[Witch Twist]] 4 frames after initiating the double jump (3 frames prior to version {{SSBU|8.0.0}} of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''). This effectively gives her access to three midair jumps (through two uses of Witch Twist) if the technique is performed correctly.

In the initial release of {{for3ds}}, a bug allowed {{SSB4|Robin}} and {{SSB4|Kirby}}, upon [[Copy ability (SSB4)|copying]] Robin, to regain all of their respective midair jumps after charging [[Thunder (Robin)|Thoron]]; this bug was removed in version [[1.0.4]].  

A [[Smash Run]] [[Power]] allows any character to have extra midair jumps.

 

Some [[Spirits]], such as [[Ho-Oh]], give players an additional midair jump when equipped.

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]].

*King Dedede is the only character to not share the amount of multiple double jumps, with a total of four multiple jumps (five if normal jump is counted).
