How it works

Makes the invisible visible, for teaching and presenting: the state above the character, the stick and the buttons, the arc a jump would take right now (aimed at a marked ledge when the Jump Assist would aim it, with a yellow line to where the hands meet the edge), and, while hanging, a line to each marked ledge nearby (green: a hop reaches it; red: too far). F2 shows or hides it.
