Sliding off ledges

When you begin a slide, your speed is faster and gradually slows down. It is overall slower to slide this game. The sliding state however is canceled if you fall off an edge meaning using the speed boost from slides at edges will save you a few frames each time. Sliding is also canceled immediately if you slide into a wall which can be useful in some places.

Float Momentum Preservation

 

If you let go of all directional buttons the moment you press A to blow up, you will preserve horizontal speed.

Soft Reseting

To soft reset in Katam, press A+B+START+SELECT at the same time. The timing to do this when the fadeout fades back into Kirby for the Kirby dance after the mirror shard clicks into place. Video showing exactly when you can soft reset is below.

Float Canceling

Pressing A will start a float, however pressing B right after will cancel the animation and make Kirby inhale / use his ability. This can be used to gain a little bit more height before using your ability such as wheel

This gap isn't possible to make with a regular wheel jump

Ducking through Shotzos

The Shotzo's hitbox only occupies the upper half of the sprite, meaning you can slide under it with a well timed duck.
