Tips[]
- If the player jumps and immediately uses Air Attack, the player will propel forward, making this fast for travel and an alternative when out of power for the Reptile Roll. This technique is often used in speedrun sessions.
Double Jump[]
The Double Jump is an ability that allows Yooka to jump a second time in mid-air after they have already performed a normal jump.
Uses[]
