Explanation

There are various items in game which Ammy can hold in her mouth, such as keys. When these items are dropped/released, they have collision which can be tackle-bounced off-of. This can be done even if the item is in mid-air. With somewhat precise timing, it's possible to drop a held item at the peak of Ammy's single or double jump, then immediately air tackle and bounce off it. This is called an Item Bounce. It enables you to tackle bounce even when there are no usable walls, gaining extra height in situations which would otherwise be impossible.

Unfortunately, there are no time-saving applications of Item Bounce, partially because most items in the game are slow to obtain in situations where they might be helpful.
