The Jump Pad is a special object introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It looks like a glowing pad on the ground that launches anyone that steps on it into the air. They can be used to help Pit get up to high places that he couldn't normally reach, and are first seen during Heads of the Hewdraw. Purple jump pads have a set course for Pit, while green jump pads send you in whichever way you're traveling.
