Understanding Speed Effects

Whether you are on a cloud, on ice or on moving grounds you will need to understand and recognize the different speed effects you can encounter. Here is a brief list of small effects you need to know.

Let's begin with ice & moving grounds. First of all you must recognize their presence. In the easiest cases they are indicated by a sign :
| Ice blocks will always move you in the same direction... Yeah, it's strange but the we follow the original game rules. So try to guess the moving behaviour of the blocks and walk in the opposite direction as shown on the image.
If you look closely at the different stones you will notice that they indicate their moving direction... It's not always easy to take this into consideration but it can help... Note also that when you start jumping from an ice block your speed is altered... you always move faster in the block's sliding direction. |
| It is the same problem with clouds. On the example on the left, because the cloud moves rapidly to the right the player is able to make a really big jump in that direction... a jump on the left, in this situation, would be disastrous...
