This and many other stupidly precise tricks, like pixel-perfect jumps against the sides of walls or a plethora of bugs involving Yoshi and his tongue.
The most common use of this particular bug is what’s shown in the image, carrying a shell and a key at the same time. You need to throw the shell against a wall while falling and land on it to extend your jump past what’s normally possible, while also carrying the key across the gap. It’s everywhere in Kaizo runs.

I got really into kaizo Super Mario World romhacks for a while a handful of years back… I actually got pretty good at it. I got to the point where I could actually finish levels in pretty difficult romhacks, though it would take me a long time. Great feeling when you finally get it though.

And you used this technique in every one of them?

No, don’t think I ever played one that required this technique. Mostly shell jumps and precise timing/platforming
