Super Mario 3D CAT

[Zero Kirby]

It's the somersault maneuver that I've had trouble with. DK only picks up the command occasionally. Usually my jumps fall short because he didn't roll/I hit an enemy. It got frustrating enough for me to put it down.

Oh, I just call it a roll either way. But yeah, I mean, I dunno what to say. If you haven't tried it with a Nunchuk, do that. It's way more comfortable and it's easier to do the shake since you only need to use one hand (for the solo roll) or drum (for the ground-pound/double-roll). Which again, just comes more naturally. Like doing the Spin Attack in Mario Galaxy.

Or get the 3DS version which assigns it to a button.
