'''Super Dedede Jump''' is a special attack which [[King Dedede]] can perform in almost all of his appearances as a [[boss]]. It debuted in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and allows the king to leap a great distance in the air, causing two [[Recoil Star]]s to appear aside him when he lands. King Dedede cannot use this move when playable until ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', before counting his appearances in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games.

In all of its appearances, this move is characterized by King Dedede making a large leap into the air with a straightforward parabolic trajectory. This jump covers a large distance - both vertical and horizontal - which can make it tricky to avoid if Kirby is in the air during the jump. Once King Dedede lands, he causes a [[Recoil Star]] to appear on each side of him which lasts a short while before disappearing. These stars can be inhaled and spat back at Dedede to damage him.

While Dedede himself does not gain any extra hitboxes for most versions of this move, it is inherently dangerous because Kirby cannot touch Dedede at any time during the fight without getting hurt. As such, the jump's main danger comes from Dedede's rapidly changing position, making it difficult to react to if Kirby is in the air. In later titles, King Dedede can cause additional shockwaves to appear when he lands this move, as well as use it many times in succession, adding to its danger.
