Usually this is limited to the ascending part of the jump, but some games allow the following jump to be performed even during descend.
Possible explanations:
* Rockets (jetpack, rocket boots, etc.)
* Wings, fins, or other appendages (only good for that single additional burst)
* Magic (summons a short-lived platform from which they jump, or something similar to the above)
