"Super Run" was renamed "Super Jump" in the final. Interestingly, neither move actually exists. Mighty Ball is the only other attack that uses 3 [M] Marks, but it wouldn't make much sense to call it "Super Run" or "Super Jump". The only thing that could logically be called "Super Jump" is Miracle Kick, and it costs 1 NP, not 3 [M] Marks.
