Super Cat Tales Guide: Tips for a purr-fect platformer

If there was one thing Super Mario Bros. was missing, it was probably fuzzy, snuggly cats. Luckily we live in a reality where that has now come to pass in the form of Super Cat Tales, an adorable retro platformer that subsitutes Italian plumbers for itty bitty kittens. Super Cat Tales is familiar territory for any Super Mario fan, but we have a few tips to help you go the extra mile.

Revisit past levels
Once you have access to more kittens, do go back to past levels to explore around. Different kittens use different abilities, so they may be able to get into nooks and crannies former cats weren't able to. You'll find extra coins and other goodies if you make a return trip. Don't worry too much about time
On your first run through, don't worry too much about time. When you're first starting out, it's much more important to get a feel for the controls. Without any actual jumping, it can be a bit tricky getting a feel for when you need to walk, when you need to run, and how you should jump. Take some time playing through the first few levels to get a grasp of the controls and level design before worrying about any speed runs.
Don't dash into walls
Walls are meant for climbing, not headbutting (unless you're trying to shake something down). Running into walls can be jarring and stun you, and if you rush into a wall, your cat will be stuck in the running animation until you let go of the screen and switch back to walking. This probably won't ruin your playthrough, but it does make things more difficult for you and wastes time. Keep this in mind when you're running around.

Super Cat Tales is true to its retro predecessors. It's simple, but a bit tricky. You'll need to practice a bit to really master things, but these tips should help you figure things out and become faster.
