When the angle is too sharp you may need to turn more quickly than is possible with just a drift and the joystick. Try to practice the timing for Turbo out of corners mastering this seems essential for some routing.
If you turbo after drifting without stabilizing your bike you will crash or lose a lot of speed often best to avoid using it other than when you need it to make a jump until you get more comfortable with cornering. Tapping Turbo once after a drift seems to stabilize nicely if you haven't overturned important for keeping on your bike and pushing your speed into the next corner or jump.
If done correctly you should be able to avoid using brake most of the time if not all the time. Move your stick to diagonal down if you need to make a very sharp turn, drifting only after you have started the turn. There's a strategy on some course where you start with less than yellow temperature this can allow you to Turbo more to get up to top speed more quickly to make jumps(useful on levels like phoenix and blizzard blitz)īefore drifting use the joystick to start the turn, you might not need to drift just holding the joystick. It's possible to Wheelie early and adjust your starting angle before the countdown starts be aware of this as several courses use it to save time at the start when doing handbrake turns make sure to boost after to get back up to speed a lot in this game depends on getting up to top speed and staying as close to it as possible with minimal braking/driftingĭuring the countdown there are a number of options for movement and turbo to get a faster start.ġ) Hold Throttle and Turbo until the Temp dial gets to yellow release TurboĢ)When the Announcer says Go do a Wheelie(Down + Turbo) while holding Throttle continue holding down briefly with a longer wheelie on courses without an immediate turn. Sometimes it's crucial you don't hold drift and instead tap it a couple times holding drift for too long instead of tapping it loses a lot of time and doesn't help you turn much Trying to cut jumps too short pushing nose down early generally loses time where it's tempting to turn down early often times the kickers are setup in ways that look more inviting than they actually are If you have the wrong angle landing + don't boost when landing even once you lose so much time Route your turbo usage so you always have the temp to make a quick landing. Make sure you boost when hitting the ground. Boosting while turning builds temperature far faster than boosting facing straight this is a prominent factor in boost routing As a general tip wait longer before boosting after a turn until you can get the line. Not aligning properly out of turns before boosting. Not making enough adjustments to my alignment with the track you can do a lot of both vertical and horizontal adjustments and compared to other games like Wave Race it's always faster to make additional adjustments than settle for a worse line. If there is other knowledge worth referencing here please let me know or corrections to something I have assumed! I am searching for knowledge to improve and compiling some here that I find. The tutorials in this game are very good and I recommend completing them to get a good handle for the game(at least up to the stunts).
