Holding Y while standing still will allow Kirby to charge his Jet. This charge can be release immediately or be stored by interrupting the charge through moves such as guarding or jumping. If Kirby presses B in the air while a full charge is stored, he will perform a rocket boost that propels him upward. This is typically used for [[KSS/Glitches#Miniboss Skips|skipping minibosses]] and [[KSS/Movement#Miniboss Quick Kills|miniboss quick kills]].

Standing next to an enemy while holding left or right and pressing Y will cause Kirby to grab and shoot them away (officially called "Jet Blow" in-game). Performing this action with a stored full charge will shoot Kirby into the air ("Rocket Dive"). While there are niche applications in speedruns that use this move, it is easy to unintentionally use these moves when moving with Jet, and doing so can waste a decent amount of time. These moves can be avoided by letting go of the D-pad while pressing Y near an enemy so the move isn't performed.
