See also GoombaSpringboard and VentPhysics.

* In ''VideoGame/MegaManZero 3'', charging the [[DualTonfas Recoil Rod]] and aiming it on the ground allows Zero to have a super jump.
* Zero has a similar ability in ''VideoGame/MegaManX6''. If he high jumps into the ceiling, he can [[CeilingCling cling to it]] and can [[AnIcePerson shoot icicles from his saber.]]

** In particular, Amy Rose is able to hit springs with her hammer in ''SonicAdvance'', giving her the highest single jump in the game.
* The trampolines in ''MappyLand''.

* ''{{Vangers}}''' mechos have a built-in SpringJump (which ''is'' called a spring). Smaller mechos can literally jump a couple of screens away.

* Multiple characters in ''VideoGame/{{Gigantic}}'' have abilities that allow them to jump to incredible heights. A couple of them also have skills that allow their allies to perform super jumps.

* ''GliderPRO'' has this through a GoodBadBug.

The SpringJump is an ability in video games that sends your character rocketing straight upwards, and is much more powerful than ordinary JumpPhysics, giving your character the power to leap tall obstacles InASingleBound. It may require a special item or only be available at certain places in the level architecture (such as [[SpringsSpringsEverywhere springboards]] and {{Spring Coil}}s), or some other limiter that makes it less available than JumpPhysics (which it does not imply the availability of, though some degree of air control is required).

* ''{{VideoGame/Halo 2}}'' introduced air vents to replace ladders from the first game, which flung players into the air. Why or how there would be fans on the ground that spin so fast that they launch two-ton space marines into the air isn't explained.

* ''[[{{Banjo-Kazooie}} Banjo-Tooie]]'' has the Springy Step Shoes (requires item) and the Leg Spring (performed by Kazooie solo).
** ''[[BanjoKazooie Banjo-Kazooie]]'' also has the Shock Jump pads. Since they're in the sequel, that makes ''three'' methods of jumping really high in one game!

* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank''. Ratchet can do a boost jump anywhere, once Clank gets a certain upgrade. Requires that Clank be with Ratchet.

** Jumping flowers in ''[[RatchetAndClankSizeMatters Size Matters]]''.
* There were blocks that acted like the ''SuperMarioBros'' springboards in the first ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' game, and the Spring Wario power up, which turned Wario into a spring worked kinda like this.

* ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'' has a variety of springs. There are springs that you can put in custom stages, ones that are items, and Sonic's spring. Throughout the series, this is also Mario and Luigi's Up-B move though whereas Mario's goes to one side, Luigi's goes straight up. If timed right, it's also insanely strong.

* The various ''SeriousSam'' games have jump pads, which are basically gigantic fans that launch you into the air.
* Halo 2 introduced air vents to replace ladders from the first game, which flung players into the air. Why or how there would be fans on the ground that spin so fast that they launch two-ton space marines into the air isn't explained.
** Halo 3 took the concept one step further by having a small anti-gravity item that players can deploy anywhere.

* ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'' has a variety of springs. There are springs that you can put in custom stages, ones that are items, and Sonic's spring.

*** This is also specifically Luigi's special ability in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario''. He causes heavy damage to anyone who touches him while he's ascending, regardless of how long you charge the jump, which makes him the go-to character for dealing with airborne enemies.

* The cyberjump ability in ''Videogame/EYEDivineCybermancy'' ramps up your [[CyBorg prosthetics]] to eleven, catapulting you 10 meters into the sky. Putting experience points into Agility or investing in better legs allows the player to jump even higher with less stamina cost.

* ''{{Primal}}'' - Jen can jump higher in her Ferai demon form, but only at specific points.

* Most of the {{Metroidvania}} ''{{Castlevania}}'' entries have a powerup which allows you to do this. Infinitely.

* Zero has a similar ability in ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man X}}6''. If he high jumps into the ceiling, he can [[CeilingCling cling to it]] and can [[AnIcePerson shoot icicles from his saber.]]

* A literal version where ''VideoGame/MegaMan's'' RobotDog companion Rush has his "Rush [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Coil]]" ability, present in all games since his debut in ''3'', but removed in favor of some PoweredArmor in ''6''.
* In ''MegaManZero 3'', charging the [[DualTonfas Recoil Rod]] and aiming it on the ground allows Zero to have a super jump.
* Zero has a similar ability in ''MegaManX'' 6. If he high jumps into the ceiling, he can [[CeilingCling cling to it]] and can [[AnIcePerson shoot icicles from his saber.]]

** Jump pads let Ratchet jump higher at specific points. Each jump pad has a preset height Ratchet can reach from it, but this height can vary from jump pad to jump pad. They're in ''[[RatchetAndClankGoingCommando Going Commando]]'', ''[[RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal Up Your Arsenal]]'' and ''[[RatchetDeadlocked Deadlocked]]''. Maybe in [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002 the original]], but not sure.
