Super Jumps are a great way to stay involved in the action in Splatoon 3, and it is very important that players know how to use them. That said, despite the import of this maneuver, which quickly transports fans to the position of a selected teammate, some players may not encounter any information about it in-game. As such, some fans may be confused about how to perform a Super Jump in Splatoon 3, and this guide is here to alleviate that confusion.
Splatoon 3: How to Super Jump
The first step toward executing a Super Jump is to press X during a multiplayer match in Splatoon 3. Entering this input will bring up a map of the current battlefield, and players will see portraits of their teammates around its perimeter. Next to each of these portraits is a D-Pad with one of its four directions marked, and pressing the marked direction will select the corresponding teammate and highlight them on the map. Alternatively, players can use the left joystick to select a teammate's marker directly on the map if that is their preference.
Once a player decides on the teammate that they want to Super Jump to, they should simply press A with that teammate selected. This will cause the character to start an animation wherein they go into squid form, and Splatoon 3 players will regain control after the maneuver is complete. Notably, it is possible to Super Jump at any time during a match, not just when respawning, though fans should be thoughtful about when they use it.
Indeed, there is reason to be cautious when Super Jumping. Namely, a ring that the opposing team can see will appear on the ground in the position where the Super Jumper will land, allowing them to line up their weapons in Splatoon 3 for an assault. This ring will also be visible to the Jumper's teammates, and the player that was targeted for the Jump will even receive notification indicating that one is incoming. Upon receiving this notification, it can be helpful to defend the landing spot until the Jumper arrives.
Conversely, players should always be on the lookout for the rings of opposing players in order to secure some easy splats. While it may be true that just eliminating Super Jumpers will not be enough to earn victory in Splatoon 3's Turf War and Anarchy Battle, doing so consistently can definitely give a team an advantage.
Splatoon 3 is available for Nintendo Switch.
