** One of the bosses in attacks Mario by throwing boulders at him, and the only way to get close enough to defeat him is to jump from boulder to boulder (in which the preceding levels have provided ample practice, but with less of the "In The Sky" factor).

** Also many hacks do this with falling springboards, shells, P switches and keys. There's also actually a trick required in the hardest of them that actually requires Mario to continually jump upwards while pulling up the key he's standing on in mid air.

* The Infocom [[Interactive Fiction|text adventure]] ''Spellbreaker'' has this as a puzzle solution ... though it makes a little more sense jumping up rocks when you've ''[[Time Stands Still|stopped time in the middle of the rock collapse]].''

* With the right Schticks, characters in the ''[[Feng Shui]]'' game can walk on hails of ''bullets''. It's still damn hard, just not impossible.

* In ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'', Wario is capable of doing this by pulling his bike out of [[Hammerspace]] when in midair then immediately jumping out of it, which still allows him access to his [[Double Jump]]. Doing this actually boosts him higher than his regular recovery move.

* In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', we have the staircase at the end of each Bowser level leading to the planet which Mario fights [[Big Bad|Bowser]] on, which gets smashed apart by meteorites summoned by Bowser (and in the case of the final boss battle, [[Overlord, Jr.|his son Bowser Jr.)]] as he does so.

* Tai Lung's prison break in ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' involved clawing his way out of a bottomless pit by leaping from bit to bit of the falling debris that would have crushed him. Po does it later in the film with some broken off roof tiles.

* Sort of used in an episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Spongebob and Sandy are chased by, and eventually end up riding, a huge Alaskan Bull Worm. It heads toward a cliff and after it begins to plunge off the side, they run back up the falling worm and end up safe and sound on the cliff's edge.
