[edit] Advanced Racing Techniques

[edit] Car

• Tapping instead of holding it during the entire course of the race will significantly increase your speed.
• Release before hitting a zipper and don't accelerate until the green fire disappears. Smoke will appear in Adventure mode.

[edit] Hover

• Rapidly tapping and while steering will significantly increase your speed.
• Hop while making sharp turns to avoid the extreme lag involved with turning in a Hovercraft.

[edit] Plane

• Barrel Rolls increase speed by an enormous amount, but restrict your ability to turn. Use them on straight ways, and they are sometimes a better option than hitting a zipper. Be careful not to do a Somersault, because that will stop you in place for a second or two.
• Release before hitting a zipper and don't accelerate until the green fire disappears. Smoke will appear in Adventure mode.
