| - | ======The Double Jump====== | ||
| - | {{:fig:pattern:pooh_-_double_jump.png|}} | ||
| - | **Double Jump** is a term used for the ability to jump, and then jump again before the character lands. This is generally used as a way of getting to higher places, and assisting attack evasion. In most cases it has no real purpose, outside of an [[arbitrary game mechanics|arbitrary mechanic]] to design levels around. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The double jump's involvement with genres can vary. The mechanic has made its way into 3D action games such as //[[game:Devil May Cry]]//, as well as platformers like //[[game:Ghosts and Goblins]]//. A game such as //[[game:castlevania_symphony_of_the_night|Symphony of the Night]]// builds off of the double jump by allowing the player to perform a jump kick after the move. The //[[game:donkey_kong_country_series|Donkey Kong Country]]// series features a roll which serves a similar purpose. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Triple Jumping has appeared, as well. All of the characters in //[[game:smash_brothers_series|Super Smash Brothers]]// are able to do this, though their 'third' jumps' primary function is as an attack. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Most of the time, nothing is done to explain why the characters possess such an ability, beyond relying on the player's suspension of disbelief. At most, a game may offer some sort of "magical" explanation, such as in the //[[game:Devil May Cry]]// games, where the main character can make a magical platform appear in the air, which he then jumps off of to achieve the double jump. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The first platform game to have a double jump feature is //[[game:Dragon Buster]]//, an arcade release from 1984((Source: [[wp>Dragon Buster]])). But, well, since //[[game:castlevania_symphony_of_the_night|SotN]]//, nearly EVERY platformer (particularly 3D ones) has had a double jump. | ||
