Basic Controls

Up, Down, Left, Right OR WSAD - Directional controls

Space - Jump, also talk to people, select options in the menu (works as the 'A' button)

Anomoly: The 'X' button can also be used to jump, but loses function entirely when around anyone you can talk to, and CANNOT be used to talk to a person.

Esc - Works as the 'B' Button, cancels out of menus, but also pauses the game. Minor annoyance when you pause the game and also exit from a menu/conversation.

Note: P also works to pause the game without cancelling out of menus.

Tab - Zooms into a third person 'shooter' angle, used for aiming Yooka for shooting items later in the game.

C - Uses Yooka's tongue. Initially grabs hold of butterflies, but will also grab hold of other things later in the game after learning proper moves from Trowzer.

Z - Your attack button. Use it to spin into enemies or attack in the air.

Shift - Used to duck. Will initially not be useful as keyboard players cannot 'sneak', but comes into play later with moves learned by Trowzer (see advanced controls section for more)

Q - Rotate Camera Left

E - Rotate Camera Right

Note: From what I've found, there is no way to rotate the camera up or down on the keyboard while moving.

Mouse movement - While standing still, moving the mouse around will move the camera around in all directions.

Swimming

Spacebar - swim up (towards the surface)

Ctrl - swim down (towards the ground)

Advanced Controls

Note: These controls will only come into play once you have learned the proper moves from Trowzer. Beware of spoilers!

Shift - Rolls Yooka into a ball so you can roll around. Is also used to create a bubble underwater.

Space + Ctrl - Your slam attack. Jumps into the air, then slams Yooka into the ground.

Alt - Uses Laylee's Echolocation ability

Ctrl + Alt - Uses Laylee's super-echolocation

Ctrl + Right Mouse button - Uses Yooka's invisibility.

Shift + Left mouse button - Charges the spin attack for the ball.

Ctrl + Left Mouse button - allows you to fly. Oddly, using 'Jump' (space) allows you to gain height.

Shift + Alt The final move, which allows you to roll around with a sonar shield on.

Final Notes

This guide is now complete.

What inspired me to make this guide was:

Running into Yooka's invisibility ability then spending a good 15 minutes looking for guides then finally trying every button before finding that right mouse click did it, because you can't continue the game without it.

Not finding any guides online anywhere

All people with controllers for their PC saying "Get a controller noob"

For all those who want to continue using nothing but keyboard and mouse, this guide is for you.
