The barrel throw glitch involves picking up a barrel, jumping and while jumping continuing to hold a direction. You will keep your running momentum will also throwing the barrel. This trick is used when there is either a barrel you can't skip by rolling through it (2-5) or when it is faster to kill an enemy that is in front of you (6-3)

If you roll from the very edge of a platform, you will get a roll with significantly low trajectory. The window for getting these rolls is fairly tight, but it can be useful for reaching certain enemies from below, such as the Krem at the end of 1-5 while rolling off the tree. It's also good to be aware of so you don't kill yourself doing it accidentally!

When you shoot out of barrels, if you hold the A and the direction you shoot in and bounce off of an enemy, you shoot out at a much faster speed than normal. If you start to hold B at any time after being shot out you drop back to normal shooting out speed. This is used extensively in Vulture Culture, but has applications elsewhere.

When you shoot out of barrels, if you hold forward while holding B you will actually slow down in many cases. To avoid slowing down you will typically want to avoid holding forward until near the end of being shot out of a barrel. This is used extensively in Vulture Culture, but has applications elsewhere.

Ledge Rolls

EmbedVideo is missing a required parameter.

If you roll from the very edge of a platform, you will get a roll with significantly low trajectory. The window for getting these rolls is fairly tight, but it can be useful for reaching certain enemies from below, such as the Krem at the end of 1-5 while rolling off the tree. It's also good to be aware of so you don't kill yourself doing it accidentally!

Fast Shots

EmbedVideo is missing a required parameter.

When you shoot out of barrels, if you hold forward while holding B you will actually slow down in many cases. To avoid slowing down you will typically want to avoid holding forward until near the end of being shot out of a barrel. This is used extensively in Vulture Culture, but has applications elsewhere.
