Hey there. So, a lot of video games, mainly platformers but also the Super Smash Bros games, have this thing called a "Double Jump." Essentially what it is is literally jumping in mid-air once yet being unable to do so again. The wiki seems to lack precedent on double-jumping. Essentially it's like this.
1. Profiles with characters that can double-jump list it as "Acrobatics", but usually characters in platformers (Tak, Frogger, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, etc) tend to not be capable of acrobatic abilities even with the ability to double-jump (otherwise they could continually jump in the air instead of jumping in the air only once). The acrobatics page doesn't even list gases as a surface, and defying gravity in the air more fittingly goes under "Levitation."
2. Free Movement seems closer to double-jumping as it actually lists gases as a surface, although the thing is the only direction jumping takes you is up and the double-jump tends to be done only once.
3. Being able to jump mid-air continuously falls under Pseudo-Flight in the Flight page, and some double-jumpers can come with a gliding ability, but jumping itself isn't exactly flying, let alone a mid-air jump that couldn't be repeated.
Given all this, uhh... What exactly should we consider double-jumping?
