Your speed is barely faster while in air compared to just running on the floor. (460 subpixels per a frame for running, 478 for jumping)

By pressing Down+A (or Down+B), Kirby will preform a slide. Sliding speed starts off fast and gradually slows down. By sliding near an edge, you can cancel the slide meaning you get a speed boost from the beginning of the slide while skipping the slower part of the slide. Generally you want to slide off edges as much as possible unless your ability allows you to move even faster. (Sliding starts with 768 subpixels speed and lasts for 10 frames, goes down to 512 next frame then starts decaying by 16 per a frame until 96 subpixels speed)

Kirby starts swimming upward when you hear swimming sound while holding just up (or tap A). His vertical speed becomes 312 subpixels. If you are holding up while ascending, speed decays by 8 but A button input won't be polled until speed becomes 224 or less. Holding down allows A input to work regardless of your speed. Downside is speed decay becomes doubled so you have to mash fast to make it faster.
