One Switch release nobody saw coming was Jump Rope Challenge. It was developed by a small group of Nintendo developers while working from home in Japan and is available on the eShop until the end of September.
Surprisingly it's now been updated with new themed costumes, new backgrounds, and the ability to double jump. The costumes are based on Mario characters, Link, Samus, Isabelle from Animal Crossing, the Inklings from Splatoon, and what appears to be the bunny from Nintendo Badge Arcade. Take a look below:
Just yesterday, during Nintendo's 80th General Shareholders Meeting Q&A, Director Takahashi revealed players had now jumped over 590,000,000 times in the game. If you haven't given this game a go yet, why not check out our recent mini-review - we gave it game eight out of ten stars and said it was a noble attempt to get Switch owners active during these difficult times.

Super Jumping Bunnies Ultimate
Jump rope bunny confirmed for smash!
No Daisy costume no buy.
How adorable!
@Thwomp_Stomper This would be what makes me get Ultimate.
Oh hey, it's the Arcade Bunny! Didn't expect to see him again.
@Thwomp_Stomper - 3DS Badge Bunny weeps.
Seems like a missed opportunity not adding in the Broodles from Super Mario Odyssey. They may be Dollar Store Koopalings, but seeing as how they're rabbits they'd fit quite well here.
It's kinda amazing how the simple but well done sound effects, basic character, desktop wallpaper backgrounds, and smooth 60fps visuals come together to make such a charming "game". I'm enjoying it. It's great to get Nintendo themed stuff added to it too.
Come on Nintendo, add Jump Rope Challenge spirit representation in Smash already. We know you want to.
Good to see this game getting updates. Nice little activity that will take you all of 5 min tops to do.
Is that the rabbit from Badge Arcade?!
Kill that penny-pinching bassssss turd arcade bunny!!!
It's also a little surprising that they haven't tried to monetise this game via amiibo.
Nice lil bonus. I was bummed that the images repeat after only 5 days or so.
So glad this game managed 60fps. Anything less and I’d have deleted. Buttery smooth. Proves any game can do it. Would have been totally unplayable at any less: I know it doesn’t use triggers but not having analog triggers did Jar me. Like I know that’s silly but knowing they werent analogue was a distraction.

No Walbunigi, no download.
Nice update.
Got to get my daily fix with this game.
"you can now double-under"
And here was me thinking I was just too fat to get this to work.
Will download for Coindexter. (That's the name we gave the bunny in our house b/c we couldnt' find a real one, and "arcade bunny" wasn't cutting it.)
So, where are all the people screaming "GAMES CAN'T BE FREE PEOPLE NEED TO BE PAID FOR THEIR WORK!!" whenever people complain about extra paid DLC? 🤷♂️
@Paraka Well, a simple colour swap... As you can see on the image, I think that's the one, lower right corner?
@Shambo - It was merely a follow jab to the Smash Bros comment.
@TheAwesomeBowser Yep!
It also counts beyond a thousand daily jumps, including correcting previous days! That's nice that it was counting all this time even if it didn't show it
Lol and again waluigi gets left out 😂😂😂😂 so funny.
