The first 3D platformer was something of a Playstation tech demo, but also a ton of fun in its own right.
The timing based triple jump mechanic makes me think of Mario's own triple jump, wonder if it was a deliberate point of reference for Mario 64.
It's a very different kind of timing in practice, but I wouldn't be shocked if someone at Nintendo saw this and said oh yeah, now is the time for triples.
I've never heard of Jumping Flash, but I didn't play console games in the Nineties. I did play Descent, though, and still have the vertigo flashbacks!
