Road Rash 3DO, SF city track in that beginning section with the undulating hills. You can hit a pedestrian crossing the street and go for about 3 blocks.

Climb the higest building you can find, build up your jump, and then go right off the side of a building straight to the ground.

I thought this was going to be about weird leaping animations, at first. 
Well, anyway, Tails Doll from Sonic R. You'll see it once you get Sonic Gems, if you haven't already.
But, hm... it was always kind of fun to long-jump off the top of the ramp for the Vanish Cap area in Mario 64, and try not to touch ground until the bottom.

Yeah, off the spire of the tallest building, you fell for forever. I like how the screen blurred the faster you fell, too. Wasn't there a video of someone doing some crazy combo jumping off that that put him even higher?aparisi2274 said:
Gunvalkyrie, you can do entire levels without touching the ground.
You can do some pretty nutty jumps in the WarioBike minigame on WW: Twisted.
Oh, and Samus shinesparking.

I have to try some of these. I haven't gotten far enough to try them, though :lol
And is Trackmania PC only?
Also surprised no one's mentioned SF Rush. They overdid it when they let you sprout wings from your car.

Yup. The spec requirements are very modest though. It runs quite well on my machine which has something like a 1.3 ghz processor and 512 megs of RAM.
It's actually somewhat obscure but luckily my local Gamestop had a copy. The MSRP is only $29.99 too.

Thanks, heard good things about it but I'm more of a console gamer. My PC's about the same as yours so I'm gonna check it out.

You could do some pretty crazy jumps in pilotwings 64 with those jumble hopper thingies, or you could just jump into things ^__^

the second island in galleon has a fantastic jump!
I made a video last year which shows it. May contain minor spoilers, because it shows the immensity of the second island.

Mercedes Benz World Racing has some nice "jumps". Sometimes I just did some sightseeing and drove to the highest place, a mountain or that big dam, and drove off the cliff.
F-Zero GX has a few insane jumps... the huge one in Port Town: Aero Dive, the series of small drop-offs combined with sharp turns in Mute City: Serial Gaps, and the veeery long one in Aeropolis: Dragon Slope. The combinated effect of incredible speed, buttery smoothness and lovely, sharp visuals kinda makes your stomach implode a little each time you hit one of these jumps.
The best jumps have the player falling through fully modeled, fully accessible areas so that the distance covered by the drop feels significant. Climbing to some of the really high points in the vertically oriented levels of Jet Set Radio Future, with about five minutes of intricate grinding and wall jumping progress beneath you and the whole world still visible in one great panaromic view, makes for the best jumps, especially when you land a grind at the very end before hitting ground.
Another one that always impressed me...
When actually playing, the upwards ramp shoots you towards those light clouds. The second you leave the track, though, you see this city below you. Then, as you actually begin to descend, the effect really hits you. Very neat drop.

I still shudder at the thought of some of those levels with no ground for 5-10 screens.
Is that one of the arcade tracks? Makes me sad that I'm not good enough to unlock thosedark10x said:Another one that always impressed me...
