The '''Cap Jump''' is a move that debuts in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It allows [[Mario]] to jump to greater heights and reach high ledges and platforms, though the vertical height granted isn't as high as a [[Triple Jump]] or a [[Ground Pound Jump]]. To perform it, the player must throw [[Cappy]] and hold the button, then have Mario walk into Cappy; Mario will automatically jump on top of him and gain a boost in height.

The Cap Jump can also be used to perform an advanced technique known as the '''Cap Dive'''. This can allow Mario to travel across large distances in midair. In order to perform it, the player must [[jump]], throw Cappy, and quickly [[dive]] into Cappy while holding him in the air. Mario will then automatically jump onto Cappy and gain height. This can be followed up by another normal dive in midair, though Mario will not jump onto Cappy multiple consecutive times. This technique is required in order to reach certain secret [[Coin Stack]]s and to win first place in certain [[Koopa Freerunning]] races.
