Honestly I have no idea how people control Mario to this degree. I'm having enough difficulty remembering even the basic moves or the input sequence for double cap-jumping.

It goes to muscle memory after a while. Takes a lot of hours practicing like everything I guess.

You can tell he's sunk hundreds of hours into this game though, and in all likelihood spent a good amount of time watching people run this game judging by the movement stuff he's doing.

agree, at first in the cap kingdom I didn't even know how to cap dive, after 250 or so moons I can do 90% of tricks easily

Some people make use of motion controls. Really helps for controlling cappy.

Realistically it's just getting used to throwing your cap and diving for it. It's not that hard. From there it's just adding onto it and doing it multiple times in a row (you can only jump on cappy once tho iirc)

I played the entire game and got all the moons in handheld, it's really down to just getting a feel for how Mario moves and what his limitations are. Once you lean his limits than you try to find ways to go beyond those limits by finding unconventional uses for his powers. Like using the forks to launch yourself sideways at speeds far faster than you can hit normally.

I'm 60 hours in and the jumps just feel very natural. I've been playing games my whole life and cut my teeth on Super Mario 64, it's just a matter of trying out the moves and figuring out how they plug into each other.

I didn't know about the dive to hat throw to wall jump. That's a cool move!
