Hat Hovering is a technique that can be used to gain infinite height in the Metro Kingdom. The technique utilizes the sun hat item that is part of the A Request from the Mayor mission, that becomes available after achieving World Peace in the kingdom.
Because the hat has a very slow fall speed, it is possible to repeatedly throw, dive onto and catch the hat in midair to gain unlimited height and distance. Since this technique exploits the physics of the hat itself, rather than using a glitch, it is possible on all versions of the game. Hat Hovering was discovered by syrkl.
Reproduction Steps
- Throw hat
- Dive toward it
- Predict when you are to bounce on it in mid-air and press Y (This is to pick it up right after you bounce on it in mid-air, this is the only hard part)
- Repeat.
Syrkl notes :
- Press Y to pick it up followed by a second Y press to throw the Hat again and repeat the process. The Y press to pick up the Hat when bouncing on it is difficult and only has a window of about 2 frames.
Uses in runs
Currently none as it is slow of use. Might have some for minimum capture max moons.
