A High Jump is the ability to leap extremely high in the air. It is usually one of the last abilities gained in a game and can be gained through a variety of means depending on the game. Some Uppercuts also perform a high jump.

This ability first appeared upon finding Gravity Boots (called Levitation Boots in Japanese versions) in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Alucard is able to perform the jump by pressing down and then up+jump. This move can be performed on the ground or in the air. The ascent can be steered slightly using the right or left arrows. Alucard flips around and "lands on his feet" when he hits a ceiling.

Later games used various kinds of "wings" for a similar effect, including the Roc Wing in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, the Griffin's Wing (Griffon Wing) in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, and the Hippogryph Soul in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. The move is activated by pressing up and a specific shoulder button in Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow, and Portrait of Ruin.

TriviaEdit

• The Gravity Boots in Symphony of the Night bear a uncanny resemblance to the Hi-Jump Boots of the Metroid franchise, as both items are a boot with one wing on it. Its also likely because of how the gameplay feels like that of Metroid, it is likely to pay homage to the games.
