An eco boost, sometimes called eco rocket, is a movement technique that can be performed in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy to gain a large amount of vertical height. When Jak collects eco, he does an animation where he punches towards the sky. If this animation is interrupted at the right time, the momentum from the upward punch animation is applied to the action that interrupted it. The only actions being a punch and a spin kick.
