[@alexcrowder1673]

@@patback1001 Yeah, practicing for 4 hours and making it into the NBA WOULD be cool, but it also has literally nothing to do with wasting 4 hours to do a glitch in a videogame thats almost 30 years old. Big achievements like the NBA obviously take more practice than something meaningless like this. Hes just saying that 4 hours of practice is more than he expected it to take considering the video says "just a little practice". Mastering 10 seconds of button timing isnt exactly something you would expect to take as long as getting into the NBA, so its just kind of irrelevant.

Head to the far right side of the castle. There will be a ramp going down into the moat and a grass wall that players will be able to jump off of. If the player performs a triple jump and on the third jump lands on the grass wall, they will slide towards the roof ledge and grab it.
