Parkour Costumes

Rush to obtain the ability to Parkour and Sequence Break

Pre-requisites

First off I need to lay out two things.

First of all, I'm sure you can get everything in the game without doing crazy jumps or anything if you get far enough and unlock enough costumes; however, that's just not as fun for most people. Some people just want to feel proud of being places before they think they're supposed to.

Secondly, to get the first and most important costume you need to get to World 6 which means you need to have obtained 20 golden statues/trophies already. This is quite a breeze, and as soon as you see World 6 you can beeline for 6-2. This is where you'll get the first costume.

First Costume

The first costume is the Floating Cat Costume which, honestly, is the primary "parkour" suit due to its long floating ability to cross huge gaps. One of the key features of it is that your time spent in the air is based on how long you hold down the "A" button (or whatever button you use). This means that you can "feather" your floating to cross much larger gaps by tapping the action button repeatedly, and this also means you can cross slightly bigger gaps than you're probably "supposed" to with it. Below on our way to the second costume I have a brief demonstration of this.

Second Costume

The second costume you'll likely want to use is the Double Jump costume from 2-2. To get this legitimately you'll need to have 50 trophies/statues I believe, but we can do it with just 20. This costume, as you might have guessed, allows you to double jump; however, due to how the jumping in this game works you keep both jumps after falling off of land/platforms. This helps you get a little extra distance when traversing with it (although nowhere near as good as the floating cat costume) and takes a little stress away for any tight jumps you might be trying to make.

The costume itself is found just before the checkpoint in 2-2, but to get up there without it (or the costume you're supposed to use) you'll need to reach the checkpoint and climb up to the ledge to the left of it. Then simply jump and slightly feather your floating like in the gif and you shouldn't have much trouble. I did it first try, so it's really not that bad.


I spent like twenty minutes trying to figure out how to properly embed in here but none of the guides worked so here are external links (one as a community upload the other not)

Further Upgrades

I'd initially created this guide to get people started on parkour and having added mobility, but it's come to my attention that it's also important to make note of the future/other notable parkour suits.

In Act 8-1 you'll get access to the Frost Fairy costume just by progressing normally through the level, and this costume is essentially a better Air Cat.

In Act 10-1 you're able to use the Double Jumper at the start of the level to reach the Unicorn costume which is a huge buff to the Air Cat costume.

Another honorable mention is the Dusk Moth from 3-2. I thought this costume was only good in that level, but it works in ANY level that's "Night Time" which is actually incredibly useful for reaching places you're not supposed to be (and some places you are supposed to be which are incredibly difficult to reach otherwise).

Post-game spoiler suit:

Act 7-3 has the Triple Jumper which is King when it comes to reaching places as far as regular costumes are concerned.

Conclusion

I didn't go into too much detail for this, but if even one person wants me to then I can go and make a full video showing me going through the level(s) in question and obtaining the costumes. It's a bit tedious, but I also personally recommend hanging around them and farming a couple while doing something else between their respawns (like playing a mobile game or watching a video). Ever since I got the floating cat costume I just can't go anywhere without it, and I've had so much more fun.

If I worded anything poorly or something doesn't make sense, please let me know so I can help!

Have fun exploring!

I decided to add some of the costume upgrades available from further levels. I didn't really feel like Soaring Sheep or the one from Stage 7 were super relevant, but they do definitely work for some places. It's definitely a good point.

By the end of the game I was using Soaring Sheep and Frost Fairy to do wacky things to get some of the out of reach trophies. Some costume combos are just crazy for sequence breaking.

No worries, it's still a good point for later in the game. Double Jump is mainly useful for gaining that extra bit of height to take off from with the Floating Cat.

a, sorry. :) These costumes are really good, especially for gathering

I don't think Frost Fairy is in the first six worlds. I'm just talking about early game stuff to open everything up.

Floating Cat moves in a straight line, Frosty Fairy lets you climb higher and Double Jump costume is not required

[Aokich]

you forgot to mention the frosty fairy costume. it works the same as Floating Cat
