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.

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 during a [[cap throw]]. 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.

Line 10:

* 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.

== Use in trickjumping ==

Because a homing cap throw will cause Cappy to quickly return to Mario if there are no objects nearby, it can be followed up with a [[cap return spin]] to gain extra distance during a trickjump. The homing throw and cap return spin sequence can be performed either before or after a midair [[cap bounce]]; both of these sequences yield equal distance. This is a better alternative to simply performing a cap return spin after the cap bounce, since it allows an additional cap throw to be performed to gain a small amount of extra distance.
