I've seen it done several times. Most interestingly was the amazing Sonic the Hedgehog game, in which you played as a full character with the ability to jump on enemies to kill them. How can I pull this off? To make DOOM into potentially a platformer?
Thanks in advance.

And this one pre-dates that thread by quite a bit but, even so, it shows what was achievable before ZScript and other more recent enhancements:
