A well-timed item can turn a comfortable lead into a desperate chase.
Players describe improving through movement or route practice.
What makes it fun
A lead can vanish
Even the runner in front can lose their lead to a grappling hook or missile. An item used by a pursuer can turn the race around.
The screen edge is a threat
Speed can push an opponent off-screen. When the view shrinks, chasing the leader also means fighting to stay in view.
Practice turns into speed
Working on your running, jumps, and grappling hook while learning a course helps you carry momentum through it. The movement you practice shows up in your pace.
