Wall Kick

Wall Kick (壁蹴り), also known as Wall Jump and "Triangle Kick" (三角蹴り), is an ability that allows the player's character to reach higher places that usually can't be reached with a normal jump, to move down slower and safely see what is below, or quickly climb to escape a danger. By holding the directional button in the same direction as the wall while in the air, the character will slide down the wall. Pressing the jump button while touching the wall will make the character kick it to elevate himself, and can climb walls by kicking it multiple times. Characters can also Wall Kick and Dash at the same time to perform a Dash Wall Kick (ダッシュ壁蹴り), the character jumping away from the wall farther with increased speed.

In the Mega Man franchise, Wall Kick first appeared in Mega Man X, and X, Zero, and other playable characters from the Mega Man X series onward are able to use Wall Kick. This way, the characters will be able to "bounce" on the wall and reach higher places or other platforms. This move is also used by some bosses. The Foot Parts from Mega Man X also allow X to break certain blocks with a Wall Kick.

Some characters from the original Mega Man series have a simplified version of this move that allows them to jump from a wall only once, limiting the height they can reach, but they can still reach higher areas by jumping between two walls. Buckfire the Gaxelleroid also has limited wall jump, named Canyon Jump. They are all unable to slide down walls.

Frog
Frog (フロッグ) is an equippable item that slows down the speed the wearer slides down a wall. This helps the wearer by giving more time to analyze the area and plan the next move, make more precise jumps, and avoid attacks and hazards. This ability is also granted by frog-type animal Cyber-elves in the Mega Man Zero series. The Cyber-elves and items do not stack when both are used.

Other media
In the Rockman X manga by Iwamoto Yoshihiro, it is stated that only Special-A Rank Maverick Hunters are able to do the Triangular Kick. When performing this move, a booster in X's back helps in his jumps.

This move is also seen in the Mega Man comic and in Irregular Hunter Rockman X.
