4. Wall-Climb Jump

One of the most satisfying platforming actions in a Mario game is jumping from wall to wall to get to a higher point. Wall-Climb Jump makes that a little easier by giving you a vertical jump off a wall before you start the back and forth. On top of that, it can be a get-out-of-jail-free card if you mistime a jump and can only reach the edge of a cliff, letting you use it to propel yourself upward to safety. Wall-Climb Jump is a good Badge because I really just want it to become a standard tool in Mario’s bag. Make it happen, Nintendo.
