Shirane bounce

Execution and Important Uses

A shirane bounce is performed when you throw out and hold cappy against a wall then either fall into or, dive into cappy to then get a little more vertical reach before wall jumping. This strat is notably used in Any% in the Wooded Kingdom to get up towards the uproot when doing Tree Route, but is more often used as backup movement when you've made a mistake and potentially bonked and fallen down somewhere. For an example in the Moon Kingdom simply falling into cappy is actually much, much more useful than diving onto cappy because you'll get much more height out of the bounce than if you were to dive. (really not useful but is good to remember)
