Pyramid Cave question
« on: September 28, 2006, 10:31:02 am »
I was looking at SS101's video for PC1, and I'm wondering, how did he pull off that spot with spin dashing at the wall, and then quickly bouncing and making himself go high enough to shoot up over the wall (which happens at about 0:22)?

That's called the super bounce.  If you spindash into a wall, and hit A and B at the same time, occasionally you'll get a large bounce height from it.  As shown, that's enough to get out of the pit in one shot.

it's not required to hit them at exactly the same time, I do them seperately because it's easier. Also the closer to the wall you are, the higher you'll go, if you get right next to it you'l shoot twice as high as the movie shows, but it makes it tougher to homing attack the switch obviously because of all the speed.

keep in mind it's useful for some other levels as well, particularly metal harbor to skip the pulleys.

It's also useful for getting those low times on Egg Golem (Hero), as the video shows.  And I find it makes RAing City Escape a lot easier (after the truck chase, I super bounce back over the invisible wall and get the rings I passed up).

I found out about it from the Glitch FAQ on GameFAQs.
