Double jumping is a technique in the Super Mario Bros. series of video games that allows Mario to jump twice in a row. It is performed by pressing the A button twice in quick succession. Double jumping can be used to reach higher platforms, clear gaps, and avoid enemies.
Double jumping was first introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3. It has since become a staple of the series, and it is used in many different ways in different games. For example, in Super Mario World, double jumping can be used to reach secret areas and collect hidden items. In Super Mario 64, double jumping can be used to perform complex maneuvers such as backflips and wall jumps.
