canPauseRemorphTemporaryBlue (Extreme)

The ability to continue chaining temporary blue after mid-air unmorphing. This is done by pausing while aiming down, then pressing down during the unpause black screen to buffer a morph. Coming out of the pause, roll from down into forward before the morph animation finishes. Alternatively, press diagonally down-forward during the black screen to buffer a stationary lateral morph.

With blue speed, jump over or through the Cacatac. With a precisely controlled jump, morph, and unmorph it is possible to land on the platform past the Cac; but it is easier to unmorph in the open space past the platform and use a pause to buffer a remorph.
