Speed Belt increases jump distance

I don't really think it'll be available before a second jump is acquired. If that's the case, then it's fine as it is.

The only time I saw that it had a great benefit in terms of air time, was in the village with the falling roof. Without it, you can't reach the chest from the left side of the building after the roof has collapsed, but you could with the Speed Belt.

Yeah I usually do that jump without the speed belt. Just have to start it on the very edge of the platform. That is actually how I noticed this difference, though.

Even if you don't get this item until after double jump, it may not matter since you get extra jump distance from the shoe special moves, but that may be adjusted somehow as well, or not available at the start of the game. Hard to say.

My thought process in this was, if they decided to design platform areas just barely out of reach of the normal jump's distance (as seen in some SotN areas), and remove the commonly known/talked about glitches or put the special moves in as unlocks, then if overlooked this would be a pretty non-interesting sequence break method. It's a lot cooler when you do/find something like wolf jump, a special or dive kick a carefully led enemy lol.
