The High Jump Boots (ハイジャンプブーツ, Hai Janpu Būtsu^?), also known as the Hi-Jump were an upgrade found in the 2-D Metroid games. As indicated by the name, the Boots allowed Samus Aran to jump much higher. In Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission, the Spring Ball is granted along with the boots.

Notably, it is often possible to completely skip the High Jump Boots in many of the games. In Metroid Fusion, sequence breaking was made nearly impossible and so the boots were required.

TriviaEdit

• The High Jump Boots are one of three items not present in Metroid: Other M, the other two being the Spazer Beam and X-Ray Scope. Despite this, the Space Jump actually allows her to jump slightly higher as if she were wearing the High Jump.
• The High Jump Boots have never made an official 3-D appearance.
