A version of Colossus Climb controlled by the Rule of Cool. A character somehow jumps and runs along a rain of falling debris or projectiles — none of which are actually attached to anything — not only to dodge but to gain altitude, sometimes to reach the area firing the things in the first place. A very good way to show off both a character's agility and their speed.
A common variation of this seen in Platform Games is having to climb a waterfall by jumping on logs which are cascading down.
Due to Newton's Third Law of Motion, this isn't actually impossible, but you do need to be moving faster than you're falling to actually get anywhere, and whatever you're climbing must have enough mass to be worth pushing against - otherwise, you would push your "foothold" downwards, instead of gaining lift from it. It becomes much more plausible if...
...the destination is in freefall as well, as the stepping stones don't provide lift so much as direction;
...the climb takes place in microgravity, as the stepping stones falling slowly enters the realm of possibility;
...the climber possesses time manipulation abilities, allowing them to be the only thing moving at normal speed.
Not to be confused with Floating Continents. See also Improvised Platform and Lily-Pad Platform.

In the Sengoku Basara 3 manga, Ishida Mitsunari takes this to the extreme by slashing a group of soldiers into the air with his sword and using them as stepping stones to reach a second floor balcony.

Disgaea 4 has a fist move called Master Palm in which the user causes Chunky Updraft to send boulders (and their target) into the sky, uses them as stepping stones to get up to a particularly large one, rapidly punches it into the shape of a hand, and then kicks the massive stone hand at their opponent, crushing him into another boulder.

In Ultraman Saga, shortly after Nozumu Taiga becomes Ultraman Zero's human host, he gets assaulted and flung into the air (together with parts of a destroyed bridge) by the kaiju Gubila, at which point he proceeds to jump from debris to debris before landing.

The third boss of Super Mario Land attacks Mario by throwing boulders at him, and the only way to get close enough to defeat him is to jump from boulder to boulder (in which the preceding levels have provided ample practice but with less of the "In The Sky" factor).

Ranma Saotome from Ranma ½ bounced around the falling debris of a collapsing mountain to save Herb after knocking him out in the first place. Much earlier, and arguably even less reasonably, he swam up the spray of a fire hose during his fight with Kodachi.

Unlike western Dragons who flies using their wings, the Dragons in Raya and the Last Dragon are Water Spirits who "fly" in the rain by leaping onto rain-drops, visibly flattening them into briefly seen shimmering spheres beneath their feets.

In The Rise of Kyoshi and The Shadow of Kyoshi, Kyoshi learns how to "dust-step" from the Flying Opera Company. It appears as though they're walking on air, but it's Not Quite Flight — they're actually walking on lots of dust particles too small to be seen. Waterbenders can do a similar thing called "mist-stepping".

The title character of Naruto eventually discovers he can gain some level of aerial maneuverability by making a Shadow Clone in midair then either kicking/shoving off of it or having it throw him.
When Guy didn't get enough distance with a jump, he summoned Ningame for the first time in years (both in and out of story) in midair to give him something to get extra air off of.
The Gedo Mazou's transformation into the Juubi brought another dimension to the battle between Tobi and Naruto and co.

The Flash can get away with this because he's not just quick, he's supersonic. Running up the side of a building is a standard Flash trick. But Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash, didn't stop there; he took this trick (and so many others) to truly hilarious lengths. Barry would routinely run along things like smoke particles and — no joke — light beams.

Luke, Mara, and Tahiri perform this during the New Jedi Order series, at a point where they're fighting a Dark Jedi with the language-less mentality of a five-year-old on a ruined Coruscant. Slightly easier for them as they had the help of the Force, as well as the fact that many of the rocks they were hopping across were building size.

In Inuyasha, the character Koga, whose speed and agility are enhanced by magical jewel shards in both his legs, demonstrates the ability to run up rockslides, even while carrying another character. The title character sometimes does so, too, though it usually takes the only slightly more plausible form of leaping from one large, plummeting boulder to another.

Meatgrinder, already a game that runs on Outside Ride for 70% of it's levels, throws a plane chase in the final stage where you'll need to jump from the top of one plane to another. The stage ends with everything exploding, and you even jump between pieces of falling debris as everything goes down.

Hidden Dragon: Legend have several moments where you scale pits by hopping on collapsing rocks or debris, though it's achieved via Quick Time Events instead of actually controlling your character. For instance, leaping off a temple roof and knocking down three "Flying Machine" puppets, one at a time, or the mountain chase where you jump on rocks and a collapsing bridge to cross a chasm.

A similar example, also present in Super Mario Maker, is throwing a shell against a wall midair and bouncing off of it when it rebounds. This one takes time to master, lest Mario get hit by said shell or miss it and fall into whatever hazards lie below.

In Super Mario World (and later the SMW style in Super Mario Maker), it's possible to drop most items (including keys, P-Switches, and springboards) midair and, with proper timing, have Mario jump off of them. While this isn't required at all in the original game, many ROM hacks (particularly the super hard ones) require this technique to progress/get to secrets.
A similar example, also present in Super Mario Maker, is throwing a shell against a wall midair and bouncing off of it when it rebounds. This one takes time to master, lest Mario get hit by said shell or miss it and fall into whatever hazards lie below.

In the Super Mario Bros. franchise:
The third boss of Super Mario Land attacks Mario by throwing boulders at him, and the only way to get close enough to defeat him is to jump from boulder to boulder (in which the preceding levels have provided ample practice but with less of the "In The Sky" factor).
In Super Mario World (and later the SMW style in Super Mario Maker), it's possible to drop most items (including keys, P-Switches, and springboards) midair and, with proper timing, have Mario jump off of them. While this isn't required at all in the original game, many ROM hacks (particularly the super hard ones) require this technique to progress/get to secrets.
A similar example, also present in Super Mario Maker, is throwing a shell against a wall midair and bouncing off of it when it rebounds. This one takes time to master, lest Mario get hit by said shell or miss it and fall into whatever hazards lie below.
Not to mention whenever Bullet Bills appear in any 2-D Mario game—they're there as things for Mario to leap off of, especially in later stages when he needs the extra height to proceed.

The end of the anime film Mind Game has the main characters escaping their prison in the stomach of a giant blue whale by running up the water pouring in when it surfaces. Then they run up planes, subway trains, boats, and a large number of other things being swallowed by the whale with enough power to launch them far into the sky. Earlier the main character outruns God.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, during the duel of Sora vs. Kurosaki, the former of the two does this to avoid being crushed by a collapsing building, which, judging by some of the in-universe audience's reactions, demonstrates an agility and physical ability that's huge even by Action-Duel standards. This also serves as one of many moments that show that Sora really isn't playing casually anymore.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl:
Wario is capable of doing this by pulling his bike out of Hammerspace when in midair then immediately jumping out of it, which still allows him access to his Double Jump. Doing this actually boosts him higher than his regular recovery move.
More generally, if two characters are in mid-air, one can use the other's head as a footstool to gain a bit of extra height.

Used in Skies of Arcadia when after Zelos was awakened, the whole lower structure of the Dangral Island complex attached to The Very Definitely Final Dungeon starts to collapse including the rail lift that took the Heroes there, so they had to run all the way up to the start of the rail lift while it was crumbling. At the end it resulted in a full body catch after the last of them got off at the start of the rail lift.

In Ultraman Saga, shortly after Nozumu Taiga becomes Ultraman Zero's human host, he gets assaulted and flung into the air (together with parts of a destroyed bridge) by the kaiju Gubila, at which point he proceeds to jump from debris to debris before landing.
Ultraman Ginga S The Movie: Showdown! The 10 Ultra Warriors! has Shou and Hikaru being handcuffed to each other while trying to climb a mountain during a Training from Hell montage. They eventually succeded making to the top by timing their jumps with collapsing rocks, leaping vertically upwards from one dropping rock to another.

This is present in all games. This ranges from logs in waterfalls to the much more regular falling stepping stones. Other objects include midair springboards to floating enemies that (usually) Sonic must Homing Attack across.
The intro movie in Sonic CD has a particularly badass example of Sonic jumping on falling rocks before Spin Dashing through a large boulder and hopping off it before it crumbles away.

With the right Schticks, characters in the Feng Shui game can walk on hails of bullets. It's still damn hard, just not impossible.

Done in Priest (2011) by the titular character. In this case, his stepping stones are rocks thrown horizontally by the Priestess.

Sort of used in an episode of Spongebob Squarepants, Spongebob and Sandy are chased by, and eventually end up riding, a huge Alaskan Bull Worm. It heads toward a cliff and after it begins to plunge off the side, they run back up the falling worm and end up safe and sound on the cliff's edge.
