Tips & strategy

Morph early, not late

Most wrecks come from switching one beat too late. Read the obstacle ahead and change form before you reach it, so you arrive already in the shape you need. As MINI you can coast under a bar; as MEGA you can line up a wall square-on to smash it.

Read the hint bubbles

The first time a level introduces a new hazard, a short hint appears near it. It tells you which form the obstacle wants — a reliable cue while you are learning a course.

Two currencies, two goals

• Bolts are scattered on the main path. Spend them on paint jobs and exhaust trails.
• Stars are rarer and often tucked off the fastest line. Spend them on roof toppers.

Because stars sit away from the racing line, a collecting run and a speed run are two different styles — do a relaxed lap for pickups first, then come back for the time.

Chain your morphs

Later courses expect several swaps in a row: MINI under a bar, MEGA to smash a crate, MINI again for a plank bridge. Plan the sequence before you set off rather than reacting one obstacle at a time.

Use mid-air swaps

Launch light as MINI to clear a gap, then turn MEGA at the peak to slam down through a weak floor. On pressure-plate levels, park the MEGA on the plate, morph to MINI to slip through the opened gate, then morph back to power on.

Chasing the best time

Once a course is solved, the timer becomes the challenge. Carry speed through morphs instead of stopping to switch, take the inside line on turns, and only collect what is on your path. Small, smooth inputs beat hard corrections.
