    I have issues with depth perception (partially blind) so as soon as I heard the jumping puzzle tower was a thing, I figured I'd never be able to do it. Heck, I had enough trouble jumping across the rock pillars to help that Kojin. So I've pretty much resigned myself to not being able to get up there. But I do love the screenshots people post - it looks like an amazing view!

    I've never managed to complete the puzzle myself, because at a certain point the shaking just becomes too much to do accurate jumps but what I've found to help a lot is treating the whole thing like a 2(.5)D platformer.
    That is orienting the camera so the pegs or ledges you need to jump to are all more or less oriented with the "background" and then jumping sideways along said background plane.
    It takes some fiddling when you need to jump past or around corners but essentially taking depth out of the puzzle makes it a lot easier to deal with for me.
    Also strafe jumping is easier for me to handle when I need to do accurate jumps but that might just be me.
