In the first method, swim to the surface, press Z and spin at the same time, and then press A. Long jump out of water: There seems to be a couple of ways to do this.The timing can be strict if done incorrectly, you will probably end up doing a homing stomp or a spin instead. Ground pound out of a long jump: During a long jump, press Z and spin at about the same time to do a ground pound.However, if you press A and Z at about the same time to execute the long jump (instead of pressing Z before A), you will continue running immediately when you land. Fast long jump landing: Normally, you lose your speed if you land from a long jump without following up with another long jump.However, a backflip + spin + wall jump + spin is easier, and sufficient for a lot of jump tricks. In many cases, a triple jump + spin + wall jump + spin combo will be the way to get the most height.Make sure you're not right against the wall when you spin, though, or you may deflect off of the wall without getting a spin boost. Wall jumps: You can maximize your height by spinning before the wall jump as well as after the wall jump.Sometimes the terrain will make it difficult to time your second and third jumps, but you can often just repeatedly tap A while running to perform a triple jump. Triple jumps: These go higher than backflips and sideflips.Yoshi can only do sideflips, not backflips.Sideflips are harder to execute than backflips, but sometimes doing a sideflip instead of a backflip will save time because you don't have to stop running to do a sideflip. Backflips give more horizontal speed, so they are more useful in some cases.
Sideflips and Backflips: These give almost exactly the same height.This wiki may tend to omit spins from jump trick explanations, assuming that the reader will know to add spins whenever more height or distance is needed. Spins can be used in practically any jump trick.To get a higher spin boost, hold the A button while spinning. Spins: You can always boost yourself a little bit by adding a spin at the end of a jump.General speed, distance, and timing info.
