It's a 3d mario classic for a reason. Just instantly hear the challenge levels music.
I'm sorry if this is obvious lol but does the player have an air move they do to kind of stall out and buy a second of hang time/change direction of momentum or like a soft double jump? It looked like it as you climbed the Big Cylinder™️ lol and I think that's a good balanced mechanic for platforming
technically two! there's an air scrabble you do by holding jump again in air that slows your descent and recharges over time. There's also a more difficult stall that involves canceling a ground pound with a dash.
I like the way that it shimmy shimmys
