Left Side
Left Side is a trickjump that takes place on top of Top-Hat Tower in the Cap Kingdom, with applications in speedrunning categories such as Any%. The jump involves performing a triple jump or vault from one of the broken airships to the left of the exit door, allowing the player to reach the top more quickly than by rolling up the ramp.
Reproduction Steps
There's a number of set ups available for this trick but the general idea is the same everytime.
- Execute a triple jump at the very edge of the first top hat to the left of the door
- Time properly a dive + cap bounce
- Execute an upthrow to increase your air time, make you move laterally a bit more and
- Wall jump
- Aim the capthrow to the closest notch in the railing
- Dive
Uses in Runs
This trick can be used in pretty much every category since Cap Kingdom's exit is at the top of this top hat.
On the other hand this trick saves a grand total of 2 seconds over a decent right side. So this shouldn't be something to be worried about not doing.
