Whirlwind Passive - Whooshing out of a pit like

There's a post on the Suggestions thread regarding a passive ability for the Whirlwind Shield:

When a player falls into a bottomless pit with the Whirlwind Shield equipped, they get bounced up like a red spring but loose the shield in the process.

This would help new players out by giving them a 2nd chance while professional players can purposely use the recovery bounce to...

This looks neat. What's the distribution policy on this mod?

If you mean "am I allowed to use it for my shield"...
It's reusable, so go wild.

antonretrojr updated Whirlwind Passive with a new update entry:

Update 1.1 - Just a quick edit

I made a quick edit of the script, to make it more usable for beginners.

- Abilities can now be used after the passive ability is activated.
- The shield now forces you to enter your jump state (which forces jumpspin characters such as Sonic to curl up into a ball).

I find it a bit overpowered but it's a great idea for beginners!

you literally lose the shield in the process, how is that imbalanced lol

It's still is overpowered for one simple reason: bottomless pits are supposed to be instant kill traps in most videogames (even more often than lava).

However, some certain platformers DO have power-ups that grant a form of bottomless pit immunity. Say hi, Mega Man 7! If you're going to factor in all other platformers, also factor in ones with a similar concept.

It's also a once-a-time thing, so I'd argue it's not as overpowered. I DO see where you ARE coming from, though.

Games with that kind of power-up are really uncommon (even to this day) but I guess that it's reminiscent of SRB2 Xmas' easy mode where you bounced back from bottomless pits.

SRB2 may virtually have infinite lives but I can get that it's frustrating to fall into a pit.

Yep. SRB2 Xmas Cakewalk mode is sort of back.
