An Instaturn (also called Instant Turn, Quickturn, Insta) is a method for turning around while maintaining almost all of Peppino's horizontal speed in the opposite direction, making it the second fastest possible method of turning around.

To perform an Instaturn, while In Fast Walk, press BACKWARD+DASH on the same frame. Note that because FORWARD must be held to keep Fast Walking, you must switch between FORWARD and BACKWARD in a single frame. This is extremely difficult to do consistently, so (for humans) Instaturn is generally buffered using either Taunt or Pause.

Unbuffered Instaturns are commonly used in the TAS and occasionally used in specific spots of ILs, such as hitting the John Block in Tutorial.

This tech is applicable to Noise as well.
