Jet is the most common ability in KSS speedruns, being used for quick movement and combat. It is used throughout the entirety of [[KSS/Dyna Blade|Dyna Blade]], [[KSS/Milky Way Wishes (Any%)|Milky Way Wishes Any%]], and most of [[KSS/Revenge of Meta Knight|Revenge of Meta Knight]]. Jet is one of the best moves for horizontal movement, and is best applied when [[KSS/Movement#Jet Stringing|chained sequentially]] in the air. Jet is also great at moving up vertically by using its hover, which is faster than Kirby's standard hovering. | Jet is the most common ability in KSS speedruns, being used for quick movement and combat.

Holding Y while standing still will allow Kirby to charge his Jet. This charge can be released 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]]. | Holding Y while standing still will allow Kirby to charge his Jet.

<h1>Wing</h1> | |||
[[File:KSS Wing Artwork.png|thumb|200px|Kirby with the Wing ability]] | |||
Wing is an ability used for a small period of time in [[KSS/Great Cave Offensive (100%)|Great Cave Offensive 100%]], [[KSS/Milky Way Wishes (100%)|Milky Way Wishes 100%]], and [[KSS/Gourmet Race|Gourmet Race]]. It can also be used in [[KSS/Great Cave Offensive (Any%)|Great Cave Offensive Any%]] if opting for the no mix route. | |||
Although outclassed by Jet, Wing has very fast aerial speed by using its "Hover Flap", which replaces Kirby's standard hover. Wing also allows for very fast vertical speed by repeatedly using down + Y ("Dive Bomb") and cancelling the move by pressing B before Kirby starts moving downward. | |||
For more information on the Wing ability, see [[KSS/Wing|Wing]]. | |||
<h1>Mix</h1> | |||
Mixing is used in [[KSS/Spring Breeze|Spring Breeze]], [[KSS/Dyna Blade|Dyna Blade]], Great Cave Offensive [[KSS/Great Cave Offensive (Any%)|Any%]] and [[KSS/Great Cave Offensive (100%)|100%]], and [[KSS/Revenge of Meta Knight|Revenge of Meta Knight]] | |||
Mixing is an important element in many Kirby speedruns, as it allows Kirby to obtain abilities that otherwise would not be obtainable in certain sections. | |||
For more information on Kirby Super Star mixing, see [[KSS/Mix]]. For more general information on mixing and tricks to make it easier, see [[Mix]]. | |||
