Abilities expand the map
Official store descriptions say that Glimmer gains new abilities to expand the map. NintendoEverything describes progression built around improving existing movement options and returning to routes that were previously out of reach.
The sources captured for this page do not establish the order, unlock conditions, or numeric properties of every ability.
Movement described by launch reviewers
NintendoEverything describes using the matchstick against walls to gain height, limited climbing, and a limited glide. It also notes environmental aids used to cross larger gaps.
Console Creatures describes floating or gliding, throwing the matchstick to create a springboard, sliding, and reaching greater heights. These are reviewer descriptions of retail play, not a complete control manual.
Trinkets and ability customization
The publisher says Trinkets can be mixed and matched to customize gameplay and upgrade abilities. See the Trinkets page for the confirmed scope and the limits on item counts.
Complete ability list
A verified full ability name list, exact controls, unlock requirements, and ability-by-region chart remain unknown. The community map post says it includes ability locations and where to use them; its coverage should be checked at the source.
