'''Pauline hat jumping''', also known as '''hat hovering''', is a technique that can be used to gain infinite height in the [[Metro 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.

Hat Hovering can be used to obtain moons at the very top of the City Hall skyscraper, such as the ''Dizzying Heights'' moon, in a minimum captures run. These moons can also be obtained without captures using [[Dog Hovering]], but since that glitch is unavailable on versions 1.2.0 and later, Hat Hovering may be the only viable way to reach the top on newer versions.

Hat Hovering can also be used to reach the painting platform from the mainland of the kingdom, without the use of the painting. Another (much easier) way to reach the painting platform without the painting is the [[Letter Escape]] glitch.
