      Tips

      • If you want to be in the air for an extended amount of time, tap back. You can start to crawl up the screen if you time this correctly.
        Thanks
      • To fly higher, tap the arrow button at a faster pace.
        Thanks
      • To perform the "ground pound" move, hold "Y" and the "Down" button at the same time. This move is great for hitting the ground with a blast to kill most land enemies.
        Thanks
