Tips and tricks
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Because this is a Racing game, learn one track thoroughly — the skills transfer to every other track.
