Tunnel Movement

Turning around
It is possible to turn around inside tunnels by holding in the opposite direction and pressing jump. This is possible in vertical tunnels as well, but only turning upwards, due to free-falling.

Free-falling
It is possible to fall vertically inside tunnels by holding down and pressing jump. This works whether slugcat is facing forwards or backwards.

Boost end-lag
Boosts inside tunnels can be performed by pressing jump. This gives a short burst of speed with ending lag. This ending lag makes the boost slow slugcat down overall, unless this lag is cancelled.



Cancelling boost end-lag
Boost ending lag is cancelled by boosting into a room pipe, a shortcut, or into open space. This can be combined with jumps to exit tunnels at running speed.



Boosting out of shortcuts/room pipes
Pressing jump when exiting tunnels & pipes gives a burst of speed, which represents slugcat kicking off the wall behind it. This can be combined with jumps to exit tunnels at running speed.



Boosting out of shortcuts/room pipes in tunnels
The same can be done in tunnels.



Boosting around tunnel corners
Pressing jump and holding forwards when rounding a corner also gives a boost. As with boosting out of shortcuts and room pipes, this is like kicking off a wall behind you. This can also be done around T junctions, as long as there is ground behind Slugcat’s feet.



Sliding into a pipe
This is a more efficient way to enter ground level pipes. This can also be done with regular tunnels.
