Limitations
Thanks to 16-bit technology, Simon is faster and more nimble than ever before. Simon's whip, in any form, is a deadly tool to wield: He can whip in all eight directions while standing and while in the air. His brandishing ability allows him to swirl the whip around, wildly, or to shake it violently in multiple directions; this type of whip command keeps Simon in control at all times, and enemy clusters can be overcome with relative ease. Simon can also jump onto stairways instead of climbing them from a base. Again, its his whip control (and ability to walk backwards--see here) that will make climbing all the more easy. Additionally, Simon can latch the whip onto floating rings to clear large gaps and to swing over other obstacles. Finally, he can utilize a crouch walk, which allows him to crawl between narrow passages and underneath spike traps without having to duck and dodge. This is definitely his most powerful form.
