Transfer Item: During a race, you can press Transfer Item to offer a item box, and if a teammate chooses to receive it before the timer runs out, the item box will be sent, adding charge to the Ultimate Meter! If an item box is offered by another teammate, press Transfer Item to claim it.



Slingshoot: Keep your vehicle in a teammate´s trail to charge a Slingshoot. When you leave the charge zone, you will receive a speed boost, while adding charge to your team´s Ultimate Meter!




Skimboost: If a teammate is driving slowly or has spun out, speed pass them as close as you can to give them a Skimboost: a sudden acceleration up to a competitive speed, which add charge to the Ultimate Meter! The bigger difference in speed, the bigger the boost!



Team Ultimate: When the Ultimate Meter is full, press the Team Ultimate for a temporary boost of speed and invincibility against attacks and collisions with breakeable obstacles.

The ultimate is the strongest boost in the entire game. With the ultimate player will not only become extremly fast, their handling will be way better, and on top of this they are also during the ultimate completly invincible and can drive through any surface without beeing slower.

• To get a ultimate, you need a team. You can't get the ultimate in solo matches.
  
  
• Its necessary to collect "Team points" during a match, which will fill up the bar behind your car. And only than if the bar is full, you can activate a ultimate.
  
  
• You can earn this "Team points" by working with your team together. You need to perform skimboosts, slingshots or just to give your team some items of yours, to earn some of this points.
  You also can attack "rivals" (red marked enemys) to get some of this.
  
  
• If youre team activates the ultimate all at the same time, the duration will be longer.
  
  
• Crashing into enemys while your in the ultimate also gives you a longer duration of this boost.

• A common technique to earn fast "Team points" is to spam the item giveaway. Dont try to use every item you get, if your item doesnt make any sense to use at certain moments, than just give it away. Your team will be thankful for that.
  
  
• If youre team is pretty far ahead of all the other player, you should store your ultimate and activate it than if you encounter some rock walls or if youre getting attacked by a lighting wisp.
  
  
• Dont use the ultimate on certain areas where you need to drive around many curves or where the danger exists to fall down of the map, if youre not sure wether you can pass the road with the highspeed of a ultimate.
  
  
• Be aware, once you fall down of the map with a ultimate, you will directly lose your ultimate after spawning on the road again
