Can anyone clarify this for me?

So I've been playing quite a bit with Little mac, and I've noticed something odd. It seems that his initial boost when running is faster than the actual running itself. Continuously tapping the control stick in any direction causes him to use that initial boost constantly. Now, It may just be me, but this form seems just a tiny bit faster than just running. Can anyone confirm or disprove this?

It is indeed faster, and it's a tech called "foxtrotting".

Thanks man. I've never seen the tech, and I couldn't find it. Oh well, cool to learn.
