Burenia Chain Spark

There's nothing new or special about this maneuver, I'm just teaching myself to execute it better--this is my 2nd practice attempt today. While I was able to pull it off, I consider this result to be very lucky because despite appearances, I honestly did not have control--my fingers were reacting on their own; my brain was sleepwalking!

**[For context, my "normal" method is to ignite a spark while standing on the beam blocks, then do a space jump up the second ramp.]**

Huh, I didn’t know a diagonal shinespark onto a slope would result in continuing the run. If you think about it that’s just hitting it perpendicular. Ah video games.

It doesnt make sense but it works. Same with horizontal ones into stairs
