Lucas can Zap Jump by THROWING AN ITEM?

[Jenkins]

yeah i was playing a diddy the other day, and i tried to do lucas' zap jump, but my finger slipped and instead i threw the bananna i was holding.

yet i still did the zap jump

upon further testing, i saw this works with any direction: up, down, left or right

just do lucas' normal zap jump, but instead use "A" instead of "B" and input any direction

AND LOL GREEN SHELL

"Zap Jump item throw" a green shell upwards, and lucas flies up so fast he bounces off the shell!

Pretty sure this has been known for a while.

I'd say this is pretty important, not to lucas, but to other characters.
There is most likely other exploits similar to this one that can be done with items.
