Triple jump

A triple jump is the most effective way to gain height in Super Mario Odyssey and is used for many trickjumps and speedrun techniques. It is initiated by jumping three times in quick succession while moving.

Properties

Out of all of the various jump types in Super Mario Odyssey, triple jumps are the highest by a decent margin, with a height ranging from 375 to 550 units depending on how long the jump button is held. A full-height triple jump edges out the next highest jump type, the ground pound jump, by 36.5 units, making it the best choice for trickjumps that require height.

If there is enough room on the ground, a triple jump can be given momentum by using a ground pound roll. The roll can either be drawn out until Mario exits it, or canceled if there is little room, and then followed up immediately by a triple jump. This is one of the best ways to gain distance, since it supplies the same amount of momentum as a vault but with a bit of extra height. However, it is not always possible to utilize this for distance-based jumps if there is little room on the starting platform, as is the case with jumps such as Snow Dram.

In many cases, triple jumps also have an advantage over roll cancel vectoring, since roll cancel vectors start with zero height. However, since roll cancels provide slightly more momentum, they are more effective for jumps in which the target is extremely far away.

Uses

Triple jumps are often used for the following speedrun techniques and trickjumps:

• Left Side
• Flower Road Skip
• Cage Triple
• Salt Triple
