- | When you attempt to Wall Jump, the game will check the closest point on the wall from your collision capsule to determine your launch angle and vector. When near the edge of a horizontal and vertical surface or on a curved surface, the resulting angle, and therefore vector, can become incredibly steep, and (after addition with other vectors) result in an incredibly steep resulting vector. This is further helped with the shape of the collision capsule and its rounded shape, allowing for even higher angles. This results in a Wall Jump with near to no horizontal velocity (depending on the surface) and incredibly | + | When you attempt to Wall Jump, the game will check the closest point on the wall from your collision capsule to determine your launch angle and vector.

Corner Boosting works on all surfaces to varying extents; edges of a horizontal and vertical plane are best and provide the most vertical distance, but curved surfaces (e.g. Midboss Roof, Golden Idol statues, Hotdog Stand) can provide a near optimal Corner Boost as well. | Corner Boosting works on all surfaces to varying extents; edges of a horizontal and vertical plane are best and provide the most vertical distance, but curved surfaces (e.g. Midboss Roof, Golden Idol statues, Hotdog Stand) can provide a near optimal Corner Boost as well. | ||

If you are struggling to get the input down, look down towards the edge to better gauge when to press jump. | - When you are near the edge of the object, press the jump key to Corner Boost.
