Details

Sometimes, you just need a straightforward spikeball. Deploy as an orbital shield, then fire away! Comes in stocks of 1 to 4.

When YOU'VE got it... When THEY'VE got it...
  • Orbinauts inherit your speed when thrown, plus a little extra. Go for railgun-speed shots with sneaker panels and springs!
  • A set of deployed Orbinauts can make players think twice about cramping your racing line.
  • Orbinauts won’t hurt invincible players, but they’ll be briefly stunned on impact. Sometimes, it can make the difference!
  • Unlike dragged items, orbiting items don’t slow the user down. You’ll need to confront your attacker, or bait a bad shot.
  • You can shoot deployed Orbinauts to leave a hole in the orbiting shield. Hit the owner through that hole, and they’ll drop the remaining missiles.
  • A fired Orbinaut will spin you out, but getting rammed by an orbiting one will just knock you around a little. Play ambitiously!
