Cloud in a Balloon

Two effects in one slot. Your standing jump leaves the ground faster and climbs higher, and a cloud jump sits on top of that. Together they roughly double what a bare character can clear, which is the difference between roping up to a floating island and simply going there.

Extra jumps only stack when they come from different sources. A second cloud item adds nothing, while a sandstorm or a fart jump gives you a whole additional jump alongside this one. Once wings arrive, this stops being your mobility and becomes your launcher, since jumping first gets you moving before flight time starts draining. The extra jump also cancels a fall if you press it late enough, which is worth practicing before you have wings.

Do not sell it when you outgrow it. Both halves feed into the Bundle of Balloons.
