In fact, you will be teleported to the top of the level, where you will be able to use the directional buttons and the analog stick to move about whilst falling, as well as [[The Daring Dash|dashing]], which is required for some loops to be performed successfully. | If you close the inventory while you are falling, you will die instantly and be put back at the spot from which you jumped; however, if you hold {{B|C}} and then close the inventory, you will not die.
