If you're getting frustrated, it might be good to take a breather. You need to get the hang of a track, before you can start posting good times. Some of the times to beat can be quite difficult so patience is key. Once you hit the highest gear, only hit boost pads that are in your line of travel.įinally reload, reload, reload. Once you hit max gear, the speed boost from hitting boost pads is minimal, thus going out of your way to hit every one will actually increase your time. Also contrary to what one might suppose, hitting too many boost pads can actually slow you down. But later on, you don't want to hit every one, as that is not only impossible, but it can actually cause you to swerve into obstacles while attempting to do so, severely slowing you down. Near the beginning you want to hit as all of them if possible. Using a boost pad while in the highest gear does very little to compensate for the drop in speed resulting from a non-optimal shift.įifth make sure you only hit the right boost pads.
The exception to this is when you are shifting to the highest gear. This too will slow you down.įourth, you want to try to shift gears before going over a boost pad, not after, even if it isn't ideal shift, as this will give you a much bigger boost in speed than otherwise. If you try to start too soon, and you'll end up wasting valuable time, (more so than if you had been slightly late).
This also includes shifting exactly when the light turns green. Mashing the shift button also slows you down so don't do it. Shift slightly after the gauge indicator is completely full and flashing. Don't shift too early or too late, as that slows you down. If you hit even one, you might as well quit and start over (except for Taris, more on that later). In any case, to get a good time, you must follow these basic steps:įirst and most obviously, don't hit any obstacles. This alone can help shave seconds off your time. Control is vital here, so if your game stutters at all due to a slow computer, turn down your graphical settings in order to have a smooth ride as possible. Basically its a race against the clock, while avoiding obstacles and hitting the boost pads. The goal is to get to the finish line as fast as possible. There are three swoop tracks in the entire game, only one of which is mandatory.
