HEFTY HANGTIME

Wanna stay in the air for longer? For starters, get used to using the flutter jump for longer jumps. Just hold jump instead of tapping. Then try adding a spin. Or a dive. Or a slap. Use one of those for extra distance. Or chain ’em all together for extra hangtime to sail over epic gaps!

Use these tricks to shave seconds off your sprint times. Roll instead of running coz it’s faster. You can keep rolling, so keep mashing! Mastering roll timing is essential for dodging incoming attacks and saving seconds. Flick the left stick away and tap roll to dodge and maintain speed. Finally, use those jump tricks above to find shortcuts across big gaps!

WONDERFUL WEAPONS
