Advanced Racing Techniques

Car

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

Hover

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

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 A button before hitting a zipper and don't accelerate until the green fire disappears. Smoke will appear in Adventure mode.
