The '''Footstool Jump''' is a new technique in ''[[SSBB]]''. When a character is directly above another character, they can press the jump button to bounce off of the character's head, similar to [[Mario]] jumping on a [[Goomba (enemy)|Goomba]]. When used in midair, it also functions as a [[Meteor Smash]]. It does no damage, and can be used between two and six times in succession (depending on the character), with each jump resulting in approximately half the rebound. Teammates can also footstool jump each other. Like a normal jump, this jump can be [[Short Hop]]ped.

Yoshi lands on Wario's head.

The Footstool Jump is a new technique in SSBB. When a character is directly above another character, they can press the jump button to bounce off of the character's head, similar to Mario jumping on a Goomba. When used in midair, it also functions as a Meteor Smash. It does no damage, and can be used between two and six times in succession (depending on the character), with each jump resulting in approximately half the rebound. Teammates can also footstool jump each other. Like a normal jump, this jump can be Short Hopped.

Characters who are asleep can not be Footstool Jumped.

The move is very similar to one seen in Kirby Super Star and in Kirby And The Amazing Mirror, where one player is able to get a large jump by doing so off of their partner's or another Kirby's head.
