super jump

Powered vertical launch

A super jump is a video game mechanic that lets a character leap higher or farther than their normal jump allows, often accessed through special inputs, power-ups, or charged timing.

The term extends to any exaggerated vertical leap: He did a super jump to grab the rebound.

In competitive games, mastering the super jump often separates casual players from experts.
