Power Squat Jump

The Power Squat Jump (also known as Squat Jump or Super Jump) is a jump move used in Super Mario Bros. 2 and its remakes. It can be performed by Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad.
==Usage==
The player must hold down on the to charge up, then release it to make the jump. Characters do not need to remain ducking, as they can retain the charge until they actually make the jump. However, the charge will reset when moving in either direction.
Contrary to the normal jump move, the Power Squat Jump allows characters to make high leaps and helps them access hard to reach places. In the Super Mario Advance remake, characters perform a backflip when using this move.
==Appearances==
While the Power Squat Jump appears in early versions of Mario Bros., the game's remakes in the Super Mario Advance series (and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) allows Mario and Luigi to pull of the move.
In both Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World, a similar move, known as the Backwards Somersault, is performed in the same manner as the Power Squat Jump.
