Mario’s arsenal of moves and abilities in Super Mario Odyssey continues to grow with the announcement of another move that will be in the game. Nintendo’s Japanese Super Mario Odyssey Twitter has posted a tweet and .gif showing off a move called the “Hip Drop Jump”. The move lets you jump in the air after performing a Ground Pound. The move allows you to use the momentum you gained from the Ground Pound to get an extra bit of jump height, something that a standard jump cannot obtain. As for the tweet that confirmed the move, we’ve included it down below.
「ヒップドロップジャンプ」です。
ヒップドロップで着地したときにジャンプすると…？その勢いを利用して通常よりも高くジャンプできるんです。流れるように華麗なプレイを目指してみてください。 pic.twitter.com/KJ0Je52sLo— スーパーマリオ オデッセイ (@mario_odysseyJP) September 4, 2017
Almost the same thing was in 3D World, except it didn’t give a boost to your jump height… or maybe it did, I don’t remember.
it totally did but it was useless
Kinda like the back-flip from Mario 64 (Crouching then pressing jump). That was used as a high jump then. I’m guessing the back-flip isn’t in Odyssey, so this is the replacement… I’m okay with this.
Back-flip is still there actually, but I suppose this could be useful if you need to ground pound something and then jump to a ledge above afterwards.
Holy shit what a fucking tongue twister
Does this have the same jump height as the triple jump?
Doesn’t*
I think it looks abit stupid lol
Totally calling this “butt jump”
Why? It’s obviously a ground pound jump. I mean, I don’t see no hip drop but a butt drop.
