Additionally, the [[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]] will perform a similar move in the background to keep up with his Pokémon as they progress through a side-scrolling level. However, the light that relocates him is reddish-orange, unlike the blue-white light for the playable characters themselves. (This is presumably also done in versus mode, but it's never seen on-screen.)

This move is an almost identical copy of a move in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', where Kirby's partner could warp to Kirby's location. However, if the partner held the A button down, it would be locked in teleport indefinitely, and if the button was tapped repeatedly, the helper would eventually self-destruct.  In the game's remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, this teleport function is even referred to as the Space Jump.

*The particles and "shoof" sound from completing a Space Jump are also used when characters appear at the start of a stage, or respawn after a KO.


"Space Jump" is also the name of an upgrade in the ''[[Metroid]]'' series of games.
