[[File:SS Kirby Jump.png]]A '''Jump''' refers to the action of forcefully leaving the ground, and traveling through the air for a short time before falling back down or initiating a [[Hover]] or another move. Jumping is an essential action for any platforming video game, and as such, is no stranger to the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series.

When Kirby jumps, he makes a considerable distance off the ground, and is able to maintain his speed moving forward, or change direction mid-jump in order to avoid [[Void]]s, climb cliffs, or get around other obstacles. While in the air, attempting to jump again will typically result in Kirby puffing up and hovering, which will allow him to stay in the air and move higher, albeit more slowly. When Kirby jumps, his momentum can sometimes be used as a weapon, as he [[Headbutt]]s enemies directly above him.

Some [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] can enhance Kirby's jump, most notably the [[Hi-Jump]] ability, which in more recent iterations, also allows Kirby to jump in mid-air. With most other abilities, jumping is a necessary prerequisite in order to perform certain aerial moves.
