Wall Jumping

Did Buster Busts Loose have it too... ?

nah as Monkichi 2.0 said you can only run up the walls, buts its still cool.

Both Tiny Toon games (Buster Busts Loose and Busters Hidden Treasure) were class games. Shame about the sequels though.

And they both remained top of the SNES/MD charts for several weeks in '93.

In Tiny Toons: Buster Busts Loose, you can run up a wall, jump off, and run up an opposing wall (and jump off that) if you've got enough "run" power left.

I think.

It really is more fun than is should be, especially in NES Batman and NES Ninja Gaiden.

I'm pretty sure Spiderman can wall jump in Marvel Super Heroes, and can possibly even hang onto the wall for a while! HE'S LIKE A SPIDER!

Also - I Ninja.

Jet Set Radio has it in spades. The endless grind you can do on the Shibuya Bus Terminal has a couple of good examples. I suppose it's a wall ride + jump but it'll do.

Oh right, Stebbo's your man for that then

I thinks it's only possible in real life if you have great speed, strength and reflexes. So that cuts me out then.

Also, no matter how fit you are I doubt it could be done repeatedly.

Splinter Cell's got wall jumping as well.

when i were a lad, we used to do it all the time to reach a wall mounted basketball hoop that was otherwise too high to dunk, since we were all too short

had to jump up the wall then push off backwards and upwards from the wall to get high enough. it wasnt quite mario 64 levels of great jumping, but it was fun!

"Wall kicks will work"

Sould be a mandatory feature of all platform games - an amazing move.

Sadly, its never been implemented as well as in Mario64. In that game you could wall kick off any verticle surface - even the thin edges of the floors that jutted out above you, making for some incredible shortcuts. You could even wall kick from a 'cartwheel jump'.

It could be used to gain 'height' - i.e. you could wall-kick off a wall and turn mid-air back toward the wall to get up on the ledge above it.

Whoever wrote Mario Sunshine didn't truly understand the physics of the wall kick used in its predecessor, and you couldn't do the aforementioned move. Also, only certain surfaces allowed you wall kick (obvious, forced ones that demanded the manouver).

It's a similar situation as I-Ninja and the 'wall running' - you can only do it on certain surfaces. A bit of a come-down after Prince of Persia's 'run anywhere' feature.

To summerise - Wall Kicks. Brilliant.

Should be fundemental to any 3D platformer.

but ... my god... wall jumping must be one of the coolest looking things in.. anything!!! WOW!

Wall running is nearly there. In fact, may I be so bold as to suggest wall-running is the new wall-kicking?

Numan Athletics has a wall-jumping challenge called Tower Topper, where your wall-jump timing is everything.

Such a fun arcade machine.

1988-Rastan (Master system/Arcade)

Good use of wall jumping. A bit of a hidden technique as it is not in the instruction book! Ace game.

Metroid Fusion has it, so does Zero Mission.

Zero Mission may as well not have it, you use it once.
