Psychonauts Session 2

In this level, I go into Milla Vodello's mind and pick up the new levitation power. Instead of floating around as one would expect, the power manifests as a bouncy ball. It improves your running speed slightly and lets you jump much higher than normal. By holding down the aim button, you can also glide across chasms. It's adds a lot of dimension to the solid platforming.

By using slopes and curves, you can build momentum and speed up significantly. The level has a small racing section filled with ramps and collectibles. I barely won by the skin of my teeth.

The glide function allows you be moved by air currents. In here, columns of bubbles denote air columns where you can glide upwards. In a previous area, you use an air current to glide over a large chasm.

After the completion of the level, I gain the merit badge for levitation.

Time to go save Dogen's brain!
