Details

“LET’S GO!” Double in size, making you faster, meaner, and almost invincible! Doesn’t deplete while airborne.

When YOU'VE got it... When THEY'VE got it...
  • You may be huge, but you’re hardly unwieldy; Grow improves your handling ability along with your top speed.
  • Focus on drift boosts, sneaker panels, and other power items; Grow’s effects stack efficiently with all sources of speed!
  • Grow punts players away on contact and barely slows you down. Go for off-angle hits to send racers off-track, then redirect with Rings!
  • If you deploy or drag items while Grown, they’ll stay huge when you shrink back down.
  • Grow doesn’t help much when it comes to acceleration. Keep yourself near the track edge, or on the outside of corners, and force them to choose between speed and attacking.
  • On straightaways, you usually don’t have much to fear from Grow. What are they gonna do, knock you in the direction you’re already going?
  • However, listen for the charge of an Insta-Whip; with Grow improving the range and acting as protection, you might have to make some tough choices under pressure! (See “Advanced Techniques”.)
