Note: Your character is highly unlikely to "Whump" into the left side obstacle. They are more likely to do the Michael Jackson standing walking in place motion while you try probing the left side for openings and weaknesses.

Super Castlevania had this cool leap of faith just before dracula! I found out after losing to him and losing all gear, so you can imagine how I was feeling after jumping and trying to kill myself

You know someone should know them as well. So they surely can and will apply them.

And you sure as fuck ain't letting another gamer get the upper hand on you, we don't do that here

Oh crap. I do it too. It's useful in Rayman Origins and Legends. (Maybe once)
