I vote keep. That section isn't speculation, it's explaination, because they definitely use this invisible platform. [[User:Malefix|Malefix]] ([[User talk:Malefix|talk]]) 22:28, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I vote '''delete'''. The very first comment on this page states that we should have an article on how kirby holds items because we don't know how. I have a few questions too. How does link have his bombs inside his shirt? Why don't people die immediately when they get hit by an arrow? Does Luigi get concussions from hitting a wall w/ his green missile? Oh and also a lot of games have double jumps, but we don't care.
Basically...
NO ONE CARES, THESE ARE VIDEO GAMES AND DON'T MESS WITH THE NATURAL ORDER.[[Special:Contributions/75.85.64.155|75.85.64.155]] 11:33, 2 March 2014 (EST)


:How do we know it's a platform? Yes, the special effect looks somewhat like a platform. But it could be a gust of air for all we know. And a good deal of double jump animations don't look like the character is jumping off something. Besides, if we explained double jumps by saying there's an invisible platform, we then have to explain where this platform comes form.

:Kid, you were editing smashwiki from ''your phone''?  What the hell.  Normally, I would think you're in class, but its a sunday so you obviously weren't.  Let me give you some advice:  Nothing on smashwiki is important enough to merit editing ''with a f&$%ing cell phone''.  Just wait till your in front of the computer screen and have a handy thing called the Keyboard, which incidentally has tildes on it.  Normally, I would give some long anecdote about how Pope Pius the Second invented the keyboard before selling it to the king of the turks who taught me how to use it, but instead I'll offer up a tip.  Instead of editing smashwiki on your phone when you're bored, see if you can download Chip's Challenge.  Here's a hint:  Chip can't swim without flippers.  [[User:13375poolR|13375poolR]] ([[User talk:13375poolR|talk]]) 05:46, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

:My "f&$%ing cell phone" does have a keyboard. It just doesn't have an Option key. By the way: It was monday and I was in the schoolbus. And it wasn't because I was bored but because I had just recieved the change notification. I always check my e-mail after school. Saves time.

The ripples that you see are just an effect. It can be changed to many things with project smash attacks. You could make it an explosion, a splash or nothing at all. It is only there for graphic effects.[[User:Highwaypumpy|<span style="color:Orange;">highway</span>]] [[User talk:Highwaypumpy|<span style="color:Red;">pumpy</span>]] <sup><span style="color:Yellow;">[[Special:Contributions/highwaypumpy|sfs</span></sup>]] 19:03, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

<br />Just to throw my thoughts in... I do believe "double jump" is more relatable and easier to say compared to "midair jump", despite being technically wrong for reasons stated above. Don't get me wrong here: midair jump sounds better to me because it is proper (and I am proper as you'll see soon). This case to me is just like how many people use palette swap (or people using recolor as a term for an outfit) for '''altered textures on 3D models of all things.''' I don't approve of that at all and I honestly cringe hearing people use those words interchangeably. Calling an outfit by a specific color like Falco's green outfit/color is not what bothers me; it is people using terminology for 2D graphics for 3D, and oftentimes poorly at that. It is not my place to change such terms used universally on here however, so I don't.<br />

Back on subject: It's not that big of a deal because a double jump's general definition in video games is the jump in mid-air. We should still be wary of how we use such a term for characters discernibly. Because [[SW:OFFICIAL|Smash Wiki says it is not official]], there is no reason to let this affect our personal vocabulary for the game.

I OPPOSE. Because midair jump includes all characters that can jump more than two times. Plus, midair jump seems to fit more than double jump. [[User:Smashdude10|Smashdude10]] ([[User talk:Smashdude10|talk]]) 19:58, 12 February 2014 (EST)
== New section just to make editing easier ==
So I'm still not done with this, and I don't yet feel like [[wikipedia:WP:BOLD|being bold]], [[wikipedia:WP:IAR|pulling rank]], and just moving it anyway. There is no advantage to keeping this titled as a term that can be proven is inferior in usage, which is explicitly the metric to how we name such pages. Also see my above spiel asking why this is considered different than "tech" vs "ukemi".

Still in '''support''' of moving to double jump. Nobody says "midair jump." You literally hear people say "Jigglypuff's third double jump." Wikis are based on the language used, not what should be technically used because it's more correct. I.e., a wiki is a derivative of the culture it documents, not the other way around. Double jump is the term used. Midair jump is also correct but never really heard. [[User:Ryxis|Ryxis]] ([[User talk:Ryxis|talk]]) 20:49, 2 March 2014 (EST)
Bump. Can we just move it yet. [[User:Ryxis|Ryxis]] ([[User talk:Ryxis|talk]]) 18:30, 8 March 2014 (EST)
'''Support''' for moving to Double Jump. Like Toomai and Ryxis said, its the more common term to use and Midair Jump is the lesser used one. I think quantity is better than quality this time. If no one opposes in a week, I'm automatically moving this.

== Origin section ==
In which games do Mario and Luigi double jump? &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 13:46, 12 March 2015 (EDT)
:In most core Mario games, the terms "double jump" and "triple jump" are used to refer to "when you land on the ground, jump again to go higher", as opposed to "jump while in the air", which I don't think anyone playable other than Yoshi has ever been capable of doing (aside from gimmicks like the Cosmic Spin). So I don't really think it's an applicable origin for them.
