[[File:Shieldjumper.gif|thumb|200px|Jigglypuff's shield jump's usefulness in the [[Brinstar Escape Shaft]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]].]]

[[Jigglypuff]] has the most notable shield jump of all the characters in the series. In all four of its appearances, breaking Jigglypuff's shield will cause it to shield jump extremely high, due to incurring a large amount of knockback from the break. Under most circumstances, Jigglypuff will invariably pass the upper blast line and be KOed. The only way to prevent this is to either have a ceiling stop Jigglypuff's shield jump or for another character to inflict knockback as it is being sent flying away; the extreme speed of Jigglypuff's jump, however, makes the former a more likely possibility for stopping the self-destruct. If the shield jump is stopped by a ceiling, it can however not be [[tech]]ed.

The reason for Jigglypuff's high shield jump has never been explained within the games or related material.
