There must be some kaizo levels which require you to do this
I got really into kaizo Super Mario World romhacks for a while a handful of years back... I actually got alright at it. I got to the point where I could actually consistently 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
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.
