Introduction
This guide is for any new players that want to learn all of the neseccery movement-tech from the get go, instead of having to randomly encounter the NPCs that teach them. (What the hell would the devs do this to us???)
Flip O´ Will
Flip O´ Will: Its´s a mechanisim I´ve invented! It works with your will power, allowing you to dash forward! No need to install anything, you already have it, I just forgot to tell you! Smash some buttons and take it for a spin!

-Morio

You will be able to use the Flip O´ Will after talking to Morio on Morio´s Island. While most of you reading this probably already got the hang of it, I´ll cover the things you can do with it here just to make sure.

  • The Flip O´ Will can be activated simply by pressing X


  • After pressing X, the Taxi will beginn to spin and flash in a white light


  • And then you will dash forward very fast! Allowing you, as an example, to cross the gap where you meet Morio and unlock the Flip O´ Will


  • You can dash off from ramps to soar into the air! Just press X while on a ramp...

  • ...and you´ll gain air!


  • But If you´re afraid that you still won´t reach the ledge, just press X again mid air!


  • Additionally, you can destroy blocks marked with this arrow symbol, using the Flip O´ Will


  • Or, using the spin of the Flip O´Will you can bat away enemies!


Flip O´ Will Boost
Beep Boop! Did you know? You can actually accelarate and brake mid air! If you fell here, try holding the gas button while doing a Flip O´ Will!

-PICI

Yes, you can move forward and backwards while in the air, but what was that about holding the gas button while doing a Flip O´ Will?

  • While holding the gas during the spinning animation, the Flip O´ Will will get a boost, allowing for higher jumps from ramps! The Taxis Windup Key will turn red if you perform the boost successfully!


...but we can go further beyond
Flip O´ Will Super Boost
Beep Boop! Did you know? You can archive a Super Boost if you press the acceleration button right after you start dashing forward! But if you press gas too early, during the spin animation, the Double Boost will not work!

-PICI

Yep, there is an even stronger version of the Flip O´ Will!

  • Instead of pressing the gas during the spinning animation, you need to press it directly afterwards. Successfully pulling of a Super Boost will have your taxi shoot off and leaving behind a circle of stars in its wake!


  • The Super Boost is one of the most important tools at your disposal, as it allows you to reach places that seemd to be out of your reach up until now!


Flip O´ Will Interruption
Beep Boop! Did you know? You can interrupt a Flip O´ Will if you want to! To do that press the Flip O´ Will button again while spinning! When the Taxi flashes, thats the right time! Use it if you didn´t mean to Flip O´ Will, or whenever you think it´s best!

-PICI

Yes, the Interruption can be used to cancel the Flip O´ Will, but his other utility uses. It serves as this games version of a "jump"

  • During the spinning animation press the X button again...


  • ...and the taxi will flip on its head


  • once the taxi lands on the floor, it will do a hop that you can use to scale small ledges
Double Jump
Hey King! The trick for peak performance is training your legs as well. You can even Double Jump then! Just interrupt a Flip mid air!

-Ultra Chad

Yep, you can double jump as well

  • Just interrupt the flip O´ Will mid air


  • ...and you´ll flip over, gaining some vertical height, allowing you to scale even bigger ledges

Back Flip
Beep Boop! Did you know? You can use the Flip O´ Will to do a backflip instead! To do that, press the Flip O´Will button and then the Brake button! You can even direct the backflip to the sides, but never the fornt!

-PICI

Some of you might think that the backflip seems useles at first glance (I sure did). It just seems to be a more convoluted way to interrupt the Flip O´ Will! So let´s compare them.

  • This is the normal Flip O´ Will interruption


  • And this is the (sideways-) backflip.


As you may have noticed, the backflip lets our Taxi jump twice as high into the air! And just like with the normal Flip O´ Will Interruption, you can chain backflips back-to-back, allowing for an even greater double-jump!

PS. The backflip double-jump is how you reach the golden bunny in Ultra Chads room.
PPS. Another tip: the backflip does not trigger the golden propeller, you can make some sections in the game easier that way
Outro
This was my first time writing a guide! So if you have ways to improve this guide I would like to hear them in the comments!

Anyways, I hope this guide was in some shape or form helpful to you, and thanks for reading!

Don't forget that the backflip can be done sideways, so you don't have your back to the platform you intend on landing on and can actually see the thing.
