I suppose you mean in games?
Well that is to balance it. In real life you can keep on jumping up forever with a good technique which few people master. But to balance it in games you can only do it twice. If u want to learn the real life technique I will give u a short hard to follow tutorial.
Step 1 : jump
Step 2 : in the air place one foot on your other foot
Step 3 : jump again by lifting off with your top foot.
Step 4 : proceed with steps 1-3 to fly.

Double jumping exists so that mario can defeat bowser to rescue peach. I don't really care, as it's not like any other aspect of games is totally realistic. Besides, I would rather have it than not have it.

it exists because of a programing error in some game and the other game makers found the code and used it in some games also you can fly in real life its called a trampoline and a hang glider heres how to use it
1.get tramp
2.jump on it
3.keep doing stemp 2 till you are really high
4.then use the hang glider to glide thus flying

a hang glider is not flying. it is falling. There were hang gliders before the Wright brothers flew but they are still credited with first flight.

It's so you can get to higher places more easily in games. Pity you can't do it in real life.

wow... if we could do that in real life we wouldnt have to worry about heights... you just double jump a sec before hitting the ground.

in some games it is unrealistic, like super smash bros brawl, however, in other games it is not, like kirby and games were you have rocket boosters, halo jetpack for one.

There are lots of people who really believe that in case of a free falling elevator, it would save you to jump up a few seconds before hitting the ground. Exactly what you just said about worrying about heights ^^


No that's not true at all. I could go into more detail but I'm too lazy so search it on google.

But if double jumping did exist in real life, then other rules might be bended too.

What is not true at all? That there are people who believe it, or that jumping would prevent you from injury?


That it prevents you from injury. You're falling a 9.6 m/s^2...you really think adding a slight hop of maybe 1 m/s in the other direction right before impact will affect something after you're falling at 60-100 m/s?

The concept itself works, what doesn't work is the ability of a human to jump to provide that countering or affecting force.

like kirby


Kirby floating around like that is just as unrealistic as any other kind of "jumping."

Don't abbreviate words. You end up saying things like that.
