-Do you feel like a hero yet?
-Lasagna gives you a speed boost, which is incredibly useful for quickly catching up to opponents or extending your lead. Prioritize collecting lasagna over other items if you're aiming to outpace others.
-Familiarize yourself with each track’s shortcuts and tricky areas. Some tracks have hidden shortcuts that can shave seconds off your time, while others have obstacles that can slow you down.
-It's time for you to wake up.
-Don’t just spam items. Hold onto pies or perfume for when you really need them. Use homing pies when opponents are far ahead and perfume (speed boost) when you're in the lead to avoid being hit by attacks.
-If you were a better person, you wouldn't be here.
-To kill for yourself is murder. To kill for your government is heroic. To kill for entertainment is -harmless.

-We cannot escape anguish. It is what we are.
-You cannot understand, nor do you want to.

By mastering drifting, taking advantage of power-ups, and learning each track, you'll improve your skills and climb to first place more consistently and have more fun and good times in Garfield Kart.
