Without Boost Ball

It is possible to traverse Vent Shaft without Boost Ball by executing a difficult HPBJ. This HPBJ is much easier with the Space Jump Boots due to fact that having Space Jump increases the vertical speed cap. It is common for players to spend multiple hours attempting the HPBJ before succeeding even once. However, with enough practice, experienced players can often get it in a small number of attempts.
