Wall Jump

Mighty using the Wall Jump in Knuckles' Chaotix

The Wall Jump was first introduced in Knuckles' Chaotix, and also appears in Sonic Unleashed.

In Knuckles' Chaotix the Wall Jump can be used to scale walls as Mighty. Simply aim back towards the wall, and continually jump off of the same wall. When a character capable of using the Wall Jump jumps again while pressed against a wall, they will kick off of the wall, propelled diagonally upwards.

Mighty has the move as an intrinsic skill in Chaotix; in Unleashed Sonic must find the Wall Jump Shoes in Spagonia's Entrance Stage before he can use it.

In Sonic Heroes, Speed characters perform a similar move called the Triangle Jump which instead of jumping upward, jumps horizontally to jump large gaps.
