Ring Tricks[1]
By grabbing a ring from above, Simon can suspend himself above the ring. Letting go in that position will give him a huge vertical boost. Oddly enough, this boost is higher when his sprite points to the right. This can be used for a couple of shortcuts in various levels. Holding Left or Right will make Simon enter the regular swinging motion.
Instant Extend
- If you can't jump high enough to grab a ring like that, this is what you can do -
- Jump as high as you can towards the ring.
- Hit it with a limp whip.
- Immediately let go after grabbing the ring.
- If you're close and high enough, Simon will gain a bit of extra height.
- Use that extra height to hit the ring a second time. Every time, Simon should get a bit of extra height, until he eventually is perfectly above the ring.
If Simon hits the ring while really close to it, the game may instantly completely extend him in a certain direction, depending on Simon's exact position. This can be used for a quick boost in any direction. Because he needs to get so close to the ring, this is usually done with a limp whip.
