Blue star and double jumps in 1-5

[¡Pøndø!]

Is there any special/hidden way to get to the first blue star in 1-5 level? Or do I simply have to spend hours trying to get it with the use of double jump?

Walk to the right until the 3rd bee spawns. Wait for it to fly past you, then jump off of it going to the left. You should get the star with no problem.

Be sure to be holding the jump button as you hit the enemy's head. It will catapault you into the air much higher, and you'll also get your double jump back. This trick is used dozens of times in the game, so best to get good at it.

Oh. I didn't know such a trick exists. Thank you kindly!

No wonder I was having such a hard time with World 1 collectibles. One would think devs would deem this important enough to put it in the tutorial...

There's a tutorial? I must be blind. Where is it?

Also, I looked for a help guide but found nothing. Are there really just five controls: left, right, up, down, and jump?

By tutorials, I believe they refer to the billboards with messages explaining the controls.

There is indeed nothing special besides a jump button in this game.

Interestingly, you do learn about the high-jumps... in world 5. There's a billboard explaining how to jump higher on clouds, which can also apply to monsters.
