This move is similar to the [[Wall Jump]] maneuver, except that the user can only move horizontally across the walls. When approaching two walls that are close to one another, the user launches a [[Homing Attack]] into the wall to grab onto it. The user can then jump directly horizontally from one wall to another. Depending on the user's skills, the user can either continuously hang onto the wall or even run along it.

The Triangle Jump is primarily used to cross over large gaps or [[bottomless pit]]s. By performing the Triangle Jump on closely placed adjacent walls above such gabs while moving forward, the player can cross over them. However, it cannot be used on walls that are too far apart, and is as such restricted to exclusive areas created for its usage.

The Triangle Jump first appeared in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' where it is a [[Speed Type|Speed Formation]] maneuver used by [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] on [[Team Sonic]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] on [[Team Dark]] and [[Espio the Chameleon]] on [[Team Chaotix]]. In this game, when Sonic and Shadow uses the Triangle Jump, they can only cling to the wall they jump onto for a short time before falling off, while Espio can cling to the wall on for an unlimited amount of time.

To perform the Triangle Jump in gameplay, the selected team has to be in Speed Formation with the Speed type member as the leader. The player then has to launch the [[HomingAttack]] towards the wall to grab onto it and press {{X Button}}/{{A Button (Xbox)}} to jump between the walls. By moving forward or backwards with the movementcontrols while jumping, the player can jumpforwardorbackwardsbetween the walls.

By moving forward or backwards while jumping, the player can jump between the walls. If an enemy is touched while using the Triangle Jump, it receives the same amount of damage the speed character can deal without a [[Power Core]], meaning that the damage dealt depends on the enemy.
