Boost, consuming gauge

Details

A high-powered multi-use Sneaker module; space out your fuel for a steady cruise, or burn it all in a mad dash! Doesn’t deplete while airborne.

When YOU'VE got it... When THEY'VE got it...
  • Pace your boosts according to your cornering ability. It’s no use going fast while plummeting to your death!
  • Build up 200% speed, and you’ll be able to blow through hazards while boosting—but you’ll need space and a lot of gauge.
  • Spend some time mastering Sliptiding, and the Rocket Sneaker will let you fly through all but the most technical courses! (See “Advanced Techniques”.)
  • When moving fast enough, players will punt hazards away—but Sneaker boosts don’t inherently grant attacks or defenses.
  • Put yourself in between a player with Rocket Sneakers and their destination, and they’ll often give you a helping hand with a forward bump. If you’re committed, you can even try engineering a bump through Tripwire…
  • Items that inflict spinout waste the most Rocket Sneaker time. A banana’s reversed Directional Influence can turn high-speed steering into total ruin! (See “Advanced Techniques”.)
