Jumping & Double Jumping

Learn how to jump and double jump in Cuphead! Master the dash for platforming and dodging attacks. Tips for Ms. Chalice and the Smoke Bomb charm.

Alright, let's talk about getting around in Cuphead! You've got two main moves to master: jumping and dashing. They're super important for navigating the tricky levels and dodging those pesky attacks. Jumping: This is your basic move. Just press the A button (or whatever you've got mapped to jump), and Cuphead or Mugman will hop up. Simple enough, right? Dashing: Now, here's where it gets interesting. While you're in mid-air after a jump, press the Y button (or your dash button). This gives you a quick dash forward. It's perfect for reaching those platforms that seem just a little too far, or for zipping out of the way of an incoming projectile. Pro-Tip: If you equip the Smoke Bomb charm, your dash becomes even more useful! When you dash, you'll turn invisible and become invulnerable to enemy attacks for a short time. This is a lifesaver in tough spots. Ms. Chalice's Special Moves: If you're playing as Ms. Chalice in _The Delicious Last Course_, you've got a couple of extra tricks up your sleeve. She can naturally double jump by pressing the A button again while in the air. Also, her parry ability is a bit different; she can parry by dashing into pink objects, no need to jump on them like Cuphead or Mugman. Remember, practice makes perfect! Getting a feel for when to jump, when to dash, and when to use that Smoke Bomb will make a huge difference in your playthrough.
