 :This trick allows Carol to gain slight boost underwater.
 :When you do Kicks Attack underwater it seems like it cancels water physics for a duration of the attack and Carol starts falling down. Then you press Jump to get vertical momentum. Overall it boosts Carol forward slightly.
-:Currently this trick is used to fly out of the water pit in second last screen of Dragon Valley as you will not lose any speed while wild kicking in water which can be combined with jumping to get great heights. It is also used in Thermal Base to skip a switch entirely as you can use propeller kicks to decline the effect of the flowing water when combined with a boost to give forward speed.

-:Not the most useful techniques to say the least because water levels are not common in the game. And even if you end up underwater, it is either choke full of enemies that you can accidentally hit with kicks and slow yourself down or you don't have energy left to perform the attack. The only place where it is absolutely safe to do is the submarine part in Jade Creek when water level rises.

 :Wall launching is a very useful tool for Carol, you can use it to wall climb very fast, and it gives you amazing mobility to reach areas unintended for player to access.
 :While preforming a Wall Ride there are several ways to leave the wall: to press the opposite direction to fall down, to reach an edge at the end of a wall. To wall launch you can boost, boost double jump, jump or boost jump off a wall.
-:In most cases wall launching with boost jump is the best option as it covers the most distance without using double jump, so you can use your double jump to turn around efficiently in midair and attach to a further wall (example [https://youtu.be/85hIWtl44qA?t=4m30s here]). As boost jumping can be quite hard/inconsistent, when it's not necessary you should jump without a boost. To perform this, ride up a wall, jump off and quickly hold the opposite direction to reserve momentum. :After that if you need to maneuver better you can hold the direction you want to go to and double jump. The version with boost is the exact same except you want to boost same time or slightly before you jump.

 :Another method in tighter areas is to boost, then almost instantly hold the opposite direction which causes you to launch to the side very fast. You can use your double jump while in midair to get more height if wanted, and if you use it instantly after boosting off a wall you gain/keep massive speed. This is one of the best methods to navigate through areas, '''but can only be used if you do not have any special meter''', as otherwise you would wild kick which makes you unable to double jump and prevents you from attaching to walls. Example can be seen [https://youtu.be/U93bSM1ENTY?t=1m34s here].

-:In most cases Wall Launching is used to instantly transition into moving away from the wall. To do this release the directional button that makes Carol go up the wall (for safety's sake, done perfect however releasing the direction effectively makes no difference) and instantly press Jump button. Then quickly switch to pressing the opposite direction to preserve your momentum from launching off the wall.

 :Carol can cancel the double jump animation at any time by performing an attack. Because Double Jump gives most of its momentum right at the beginning. This does not make difference in a long run, however by doing so you remove the energy cost of double jump which drains your Special Bar as long as you are spinning in midair. In situations where Kicks Attack will be needed shortly, preserving energy in your Special Bar is vital.
 :It is also worth noting that double jump spin deals less damage than any other of one Carol's attacks, so in most cases it is not worth spending energy on.
-:Most of the time though, there is little to no reason to cancel double jump other than habit, and in fact sometimes you may want your Special Bar to be drained. Other than in fights, or in particular situations, this technique tends to be inconsequential.
+:Double jump canceling is useful in areas where you would get a lot of hitlag otherwise.

 :There are three ways to god down slopes on foot. Simply run, roll, and pounce. Pouncing is the fastest, but when that's not available, or that's too fast rolling is nearly as good. It builds speed at a much faster rate than just running, and essentially any time you're not pouncing on a slope you should be rolling.

-:The way clanking works in this game allows many hitboxes to be cancelled out. The kicks are the perfect example of this. However rolling can also certain attacks such as the spikey thing that breaks the walls in relic maze. It has the advantage over kicks in certain situations due to having less hits so it causes less hitlag frames and is thus very slightly faster, plus it also saves some special meter.
