I bought the game on a whim for the switch, but I feel ill prepared. I don’t usually play heavy action games like this and I hear it’s especially hard for what it is. But I want to try.

    Know that you can pogo (attack down on spikes, enemies and mushrooms) and get a little boost up. I didn’t know this on my first playthrough which made navigating through the jumping platforms sooo much harder than it should.

      This is definitely a great technique to bring attention to and I considered mentioning it too. I opted for a more general batch of tips, hopefully the “tutorial” for pogoing hits its mark… There’s a room with floating spike chunks that leads to either a money node or a collectible (can’t remember which offhand), and that’s supposed to be a hint that you can pogo on spikes. I only tried after my third time passing it though, since I thought maybe there was a power-up later that I could use until I decided to say screw it and gave it a try.
