Rapid transit through an urban or suburban area by means of extraordinary leaps from housetop to housetop. Can be found in martial arts and Sentai series. Sometimes it's in live action movies. Helps someone get across town quickly without running into obstacles on the ground and keep their destination in sight. Also a lot easier to draw than a busy street. For a reality check, the world record for running long jump is just under 30' (9m), while a typical two-lane street in America is 22' (6.5m). And that's not including sidewalks or setbacks between the street and the building's footprint, which may be required in some places. So while this trope would be easier in some countries and neighborhoods than in others, doing it in New York City would require a Charles Atlas Superpower at the very least. Or the aid of technologies such as Grappling Hook Pistols. A related trope common from American Super Hero stories is the Building Swing. Real-life roofhopping is an element of Le Parkour. When performed on moving vehicles, it's Hood Hopping. In Video Games, it is one of the ways to cross Ruthless Rooftops. |

Aquaman: The scene in Sicily features a very intense and exciting rooftop chase where Aquaman and Mera have to evade Black Manta and a number of Atlantean commandoes. Naturally Aquaman and Manta go mano-on-mano with each other while Mera deals with the mooks. One of the commandoes misjudges his leap and goes crashing through the tiled roof in his heavy Powered Armor, so he continues the chase by smashing through the walls below her instead. | |

Sluggy Freelance: In "That Which Redeems", the so far relatively harmless-seeming Demon Lord Horribus is shown to be capable of leaping across a city from rooftop to rooftop (and not just adjacent rooftops) in pursuit of his nemesis, probably by virtue of his Super-Strength. He does break the roof of the last building he lands on with his great weight, and humorously falls through all its stories after that. | |

The Matrix The opening Chase Scene involved Agents roof hopping after Trinity. Part way through, the whole thing is lampshaded when a cop, seeing an agent jump an unbelievable distance following Trinity, says, "That's impossible!" This is the first hint we get that the action is not, in fact, taking place in the real world. There's also the infamous "Whoa" scene, where Morpheus shows Neo how to do it. As Cypher points out, nobody makes it their first try... but Neo is believed to be The One, perhaps he's an exception? Nope, he fails his first jump just like everyone else did. |

Major Grom: Plague Doctor. As Grom is a Cowboy Cop and not a superhero (yet), his efforts are less than successful when he's forced to use this trope; he tries to leap to the next rooftop and crashes through a window and down a staircase instead. However Grom liked the view so much he takes his Fire-Forged Friends up there at the end of the movie to have something to eat. | |

Discworld: Assassins are expected to be able to do this. Pyramids in particular features the main character doing quite a bit of roof hopping. Sam Vimes engages in quite a few rooftop chases, most of them off-page. One of Death's near Vimes experiences happened when one of these stopped being a rooftop chase. (Another chase, in Night Watch Discworld, ended when both participants fell through the glass ceiling of Unseen University.) |

Kung Fu Panda 2. As he's about to be blasted by Lord Shen's cannons, Po avoids this by the simple method of jumping from one rooftop to another, as the cannons are too heavy and cumbersome to move quickly. It helps that he's on a Chinese multi-inclined roof, so all Po has to do is go down. | |

In Snow White with the Red Hair, the knight Mitsuhide was introduced to his charge, the second prince of the kingdom, by being brought to the castle by the first prince, walking near a building and being told to look up as Zen leapt from the roof to a nearby tree in an attempt to escape his duties. It's a habit Zen never grew out of and early on he acquires an aide who also prefers to get around this way, to the point that he rarely ever uses doors or hallways without being ordered to. | |

Turning Red: When Mei's transformation triggers at school, she is humiliated and clumsily dashes home on the streets and the roofs of Toronto as a giant red panda, causing plenty of damage along the way. By the night of the concert, Mei has a better handle on her powers, and when she sneaks out to attend it she gracefully makes leaps and bounds across the roofs, switching between both human and red panda form with ease. |

The Bourne Ultimatum: One of the most impressive sequences, where the near superhuman Jason Bourne was leaping from rooftops to catch up to his ally Nicky and protect her from an assassin. Made believable in that it took place in Tangier, where the buildings are very crowded, and the fact that Nicky tries the same thing and barely makes it herself. (The only question is how Bourne and the assassin were able to follow her in the near labyrinth-like buildings.) | |

One Piece: Somewhat lampshaded in the Water 7 arc, everyone (including the Straw Hat crew) is impressed by shipwright Kaku's ability to jump great distances to the point of nearly flying, partialy a byproduct of having undergone special martial arts training like the rest of CP9. Later, Chopper and Nami must awkwardly run across rooftops to free Luffy, who is stuck between two buildings, and Zoro, stuck in a chimney. In the Dressrosa arc, Robin, Rebecca and Bartolomeo use the "Tontatta airlines jumping service" to jump from roof to roof and get to the King's Plateau in time to meet up with Luffy's group there. |

His friend gets pursued by a policeman he's in bad with, though, and keeps having to head further up in the building, forcing Harold to keep climbing.

The first season of Sailor Moon had several instances of implied roofhopping, in that the girls leapt off into the sky and vanished into the distance. As well, Zoisite also engaged in roofhopping in one anime episode, while he was disguised as Sailor Moon. Also, Minako pulled it off on screen, once. Not Sailor Venus, Minako. Just because walking from the road to Usagi's room the normal way was too slow. And Usagi's reaction implies she does it fairly often. |

Toward the end of the first Lone Wolf book, you can use the "Roofways" to reach the king's citadel while avoiding the crowded streets. It is mentioned the citizens of Holmgrad were familiar with this way of travel before a royal decree forbade it because of too many accidents.

Mission: Impossible Film Series: In Fallout, Ethan Hunt is running across London after the villain who is wearing a Tracking Device with Benji guiding him. Unfortunately Ethan has to run up onto the roof of St Paul's Cathedral to escape some people chasing him, so this trope ensues, but Benji doesn't realise this because his map isn't set on 3D. Hilarity Ensues as Benji gives directions that don't match with reality. In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Grace (Hayley Atwell) make their escape from the Abu Dhabi airport through its roof, running on it. |

Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath, the Cloudies of Tai-tastigon live their entire lives on the roofs of the city, which is their Cloud Kingdom, and refuse to allow ground-dwellers to climb up there. Many of them have never set foot on the ground. Jame, the books' protagonist, saves a prince of the Cloud Kingdom and is given the freedom of the skies; after that, she prefers the rooftops to the streets. | |

Assassin's Creed: All player characters can do that on the city roofs of their respective settings (and so can thieves, guards — except those in heavy armor —, mercenaries, and witnesses). In fact, running on roofs is the standard and quickest means of getting anywhere in the whole franchise. Altaïr of Assassin's Creed can use this to go pretty much anywhere he pleases in Jerusalem, Acre and Damas at the time of The Crusades. As can Ezio Auditore in the sequels: Assassin's Creed II in Florence, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Forlì and Venice; Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood in Rome; Assassin's Creed: Revelations in Constantinople (and a bit in an Underground City in Cappadocia). Downplayed in Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed Rogue, where buildings tend to be lower and farther apart from each other in colonial Boston and New York compared to cramped cities in old Europe. You can still do it, but you'd have a hard time crossing the entire town without touching the ground. Averted in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, where Edward spends most of his time away from big cities, either on ships, deserted islands, forts, or small port towns. Assassin's Creed: Unity with the roofs of Paris and Versailles during The French Revolution. Assassin's Creed Syndicate with the roofs of Victorian London. Assassin's Creed Origins on buildings of Ancient Egypt (pyramids as well). Assassin's Creed: Odyssey with cities and temples of Ancient Greece. Assassin's Creed: Valhalla runs into a similar case to Black Flag, with small settlements not lending themselves well to doing that. Averted with the siege of Paris, though. Assassin's Creed: Mirage has the roofs of 9th century Baghdad. |
