The Jetpack is a rare to very rare item that is immensely helpful in traversing the dungeon. It can be found inside certain shops, as a very rare drop from a crate or by bombing the wall behind the Giant Alien in Area 3. (As with all items, it may also be found buried in random walls, visible only with the Spectacles.) It cannot be equipped at the same time as a cape. Jetpacks bought in shops cost 18000 plus an additional 2000 for every level beyond the first, making them the game's most expensive (and most valuable) item.

Functionality

For all intents and purposes, the Jetpack replaces the rope, spring shoes, and climbing gloves. It allows you to fly upwards in any direction by pressing and holding the jump button after jumping. The extra boost works for a short time, and recharges when you touch the ground - but not when you grab onto a ledge or a wall with the climbing gloves. Note that flying with the Jetpack to the maximum height it can provide is typically high enough to cause falling damage if you land on the same platform or lower, so be careful when flying upwards. It has infinite usage.
