Question

Hi, I’m trying to make a 2D platformer and I’m wondering how I give the player character the ability to glide like super acorn Mario or Dixie Kong?

You could reduce gravity or provide an upwards force to counter gravity if they’re in glide mode.

Depending on what you want, you could have anything from a simple:

    if gliding:
        lift = 6.0
    else:
        lift = 0.0

All the way to a complete flight model where the player can dive to build up speed or pull up to trade speed for altitude.
