This is the STAFF ROCKET BOOST. Look out for special boost pads on the ground. They are used to give your Staff extra rocket power to lift you off the ground and onto ledges above!
—Magic Cave's description

The Rocket Boost or Staff Rocket Boost is the second Staff Upgrade that Fox McCloud obtains for Krystal's Staff, during his expedition in Dinosaur Planet.

Location[]

After Fox rescues and brings Tricky back to his mother in ThornTail Hollow, he obtains the Rocket Boost in the depths the of the Ancient Well. He has to plant a Bomb Spore into a Bomb Spore Planting Patch, and then blow up the Bomb Spore Plant in order to reveal the entrance to a cave, where the Rocket Boost lies.

Functions[]

It gives Fox the ability to boost himself straight upwards with the Staff to reach high ledges. Unfortunately, this can only be used in unison with Rocket Boost Pads, which are located on the ground in predetermined places around the planet. This makes this ability much less versatile than many other Staff Upgrades. Like most Staff Upgrades, using the Rocket Boost also depletes Fox's Staff Energy Meter. The Meter can be refilled by collecting Staff Energy Gems, usually dropped by Magic Plants. Along with all other Staff Upgrades, it can also be assigned to the Y Button.

Staff Rocket Boost[]

Next on the list of excellent upgrades is the Rocket Boost. In combination with Rocket Boost Pads, it propels you to him ledges. Step up to a Rocket Boost Pad, select the boost icon in your inventory, and then hold [A]. The Staff charges up and then launches, flinging Fox to the upper level.
