The method of crouch jumping is relatively simple. Press 'A' to jump and, while in mid-air, hold down the left thumbstick to crouch. This should enable you to get to previous unreachable places. The reason this trick works is not because it makes you jump higher.  What actually happens is that when you do a normal jump, occasionally the place you're trying to jump to is too high and your feet will hit the platform edge, thereby not allowing you to get to where you were trying to go. When you crouch jump, your hitbox becomes smaller, as it would while crouching, allowing you to gain extra vertical clearance, something incredibly valuable when it comes to reaching previous inaccessible areas.  Many [[Carney Holes]] require some form of crouch jumping.
