A homing cap throw (also referred to simply as a homing throw or abbreviated as HCT) is a movement technique that allows Cappy to home in on nearby objects. A homing cap throw can be performed by shaking the controller while Cappy is extended.
Using a midair homing throw in conjunction with a cap return spin is a very useful move for trickjumping, since it allows a bit of extra distance to be gained for precise jumps.
Behavior
Cappy's homing ability can be performed in four different directions: up, down, left and right, and the direction of the homing function depends on the direction in which the controller is shaken.
Cappy will obey the following behavior when a homing throw is performed:
- If there are any nearby objects in the direction of the homing that Cappy can latch onto, Cappy will home in on the nearest one.
- If there are no objects in that particular direction that are in range, but there are nearby objects in another direction, Cappy will home into the nearest object in general.
- If there are no objects in range at all, Cappy will briefly move in the direction of the homing, then return to Mario.
