Hey guys, the little jump dash mechanic seems to niggle with me. If you don't know what the mechanic is, when I press the jump button in midair, I can teleport up, left, or right. If I press A when I am not holding the circle pad, I teleport up. If I press A while tilting the circle pad up, I can teleport forward. I can only teleport twice and when I have used up all of my teleports, I will do a slight jump dash in a last attempt to get over an obstacle. You may think this looks good on paper, but here is the problem....
If I teleport forward, I may go too far and miss the platform and fall to my death. If I teleport up, I lose all my jump momentum and I may not make it to the platform. Even if I do the last resort jump dash, it may go too far as well and it may make me plummet to my death. So what should I do about this mechanic? Should I keep it or scrap it? Do you have any suggestions on how to modify it to make platforming safer?
