I was just looking at the crouch jump page; and according the article 'crouch jumping' should not be confused with "jumping while crouched, such as was possible in many 80's and 90's side-scrolling games, e.g. the Super Mario franchise."
What's the reason for the caveat? I know the term crouch-jumping is most widely associated with FPSs; but Is there really a significant difference between performing this move from a side view versus a first person view? Or should all games that feature simultaneous crouching and jumping be included here?
If games such as Super Mario Bros. do have to be excluded, should we make a separate page? If so, what do we call it - 2D Crouch-Jumping? Side-View Crouch-Jumping? Non-FPS Crouch-Jumping??
