'''Space Jump''' refers to the ability/phenomenon of a [[Helper]] or other character to automatically be transported to [[Kirby]]'s location via a [[star]]. This happens automatically if the secondary character is left too far behind, or can be intentionally triggered by that character's controlling player pressing the A button (B button in ''Return to Dream Land'').
'''Space Jump''' refers to the ability/phenomenon of a [[Helper]] or other [[character]] to automatically be transported to [[Kirby]]'s location via a star or glowing point of light. This happens automatically if the secondary character is left too far behind, or in some games can be intentionally triggered by that character's controlling player pressing the A button (B button in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''). Additionally it's possible for a Space Jump to occur if a character rides a [[Warp Star]], this also allows Kirby to perform a Space Jump as it will transport him onto the Warp Star.


This phenomenon occurs in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' (''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra|Ultra]]'') and ''[[Kirby's Return To Dream Land]]'', implemented in order to keep the camera - and subsequently the action - centered on Kirby. This effect is not [[canon]], which is to say that it does not actually take place in the storyline, and is instead merely a gameplay mechanic used to keep the party together.
This phenomenon occurs in all main-series games that utilize [[multiplayer]] in the main game modes, as well as in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', implemented in order to keep the camera - and subsequently the action - centered on Kirby.


== In ''Super Smash Bros.'' ==
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', [[Gooey]]'s Space Jump will cause him to break any [[Star Block]]s on his path back to Kirby.
The space jump is also utilized in [[smashwiki:The Supspace Emissary|The Supspace Emissary]], functioning exactly the same as it does in the ''Kirby'' series, though instead of a star, the transporting effect looks like a more generic blue glow, teleporting Player 2 to the location of Player 1, who remains the center of focus.
 
In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's]] [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|(Extra)]] [[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Epic Yarn]]'', [[Angie]] works very similarly to a Space Jump, and could be considered that game's variation of the technique.
 
== In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ==
The space jump is also utilized in [[smashwiki:The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], functioning exactly the same as it does in the ''Kirby'' series, though instead of a star, the transporting effect looks like a more generic blue glow, teleporting Player 2 to the location of Player 1, who remains the center of focus.
