Awesome! I never knew you could multi-jump, but I was usually too busy getting murdered by frogs anyway.
Cool find, now if I could only afford this game.
And the price for Magician Lord MVS just jumped 50%...

After 23 years and somebody find's out you can multi-jump.
How convenient. Just after I bought one...
IŽll probably wake up soon.
cant have sounds on this work puter... so how do you actually pull it off? looks like he is firing while jumping all the time?
/me waits for Dion to pop into this thread saying he discovered this in the 90's.
Whaaaaaa???? That's crazy! I have to try that scrolling through the wall trick. I can't believe you can double jump. Awesome find!!
Hit detection. it's all about hit detection.![]()
The uploader* says it was done with the CD version.
(*by which I mean AM)
Translated instructions from NeoGeoKult:
Double Jump: Press jump and shoot with a very slight shift (jump slightly before firing), then again when the first shot is fired. The timing window is very tight! Note: This trick only works with Elta, Shinobi and Waterman (easier to do with it).

The French celebrate April 1 every day except April 1.
Weird. I knew about the double jump thing as I did it by accident using the water guy before but I never thought to exploit it and go up walls and stuff.
You just made Magician Lord the Super Mario of the Neo Geo.
Time for some tricks.
I need to dig a tunnel here! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! WTFFFFFFFFF!!!!

Should be nothing...but, who knows???
Ok I can confirm this double-jump trick works perfectly on my non-modded JP AES, using a variation of the above quoted method using Elta.
Surprisingly for something hidden for so long, it's not difficult... I was able to successfully double-jump using my first life right at the beginning of Stage 1, with no practice necessary. Just quickly tapped A-then-B about 1/10th seconds apart, three times in quick succession. i.e. A,B,A,B,A,B sometimes with 1/4 second pause after the first A,B. When successful, my blue magician hat leaves the top of the screen, at the opening screen of Stage 1, which is not possible with a normal jump. Amazing secret! Congrats to the OP for finding this.
