**Corner Boosting** is an advanced movement technique that exploits a buggy interaction between [[universaltech:walljumping|Wall Jumps]] and map geometry, allowing players to gain significantly more height than a standard wall jump. This technique can be performed on any edge or corner but requires precise positioning and timing.


A detailed analysis by **twiikuu** explains the mechanics behind Corner Boosting:
<WRAP announcement grey round> When a **Wall Jump** is executed: 
  - The game sets the character's velocity to a fixed value. 
  - The collision capsule's nearest point to the wall determines the launch angle. 
  - Due to the capsule's curvature, the resulting angle can point **upwards** rather than sideways, generating extreme vertical momentum.

Corner Boosting has several practical uses:
  * **Height Advantage** – Gain elevation to access high ground or evade enemies.
  * **Vision Control** – Peek over obstacles (e.g., bridges, barrels) for better sightlines.
  * **Ability Synergy** – Chain with abilities that benefit from extra height (e.g., Bebop’s Hook).

While Corner Boosting works on most edges, curved surfaces provide the most consistent results. Some notable objects include:

  * Golden Idol Statue
  * Stone Fencing
  * Hotdog Stand
  * Hogsworth’s Truck

There are some setups to get consistent Corner Boosts at certain spots. They are not mandatory; you can do corner boosts on any curved surface.
