CONSIGLI E TRUCCHI

• Watch the side of the road:

If you're (too) close to the edge of the road, the black curbs will turn red. Avoid riding on the edges, mainly on straights before a sharp turn with barrels or other riders. Riding just after the edge will cause the player-controlled rider to fall down.

• See the control type:

You have more control over your bike when the dip switch is set to "3-way positional switch"; "2 buttons" control type accelerates the bike automatically on gear 1 which may lead to more frequent crashes with barrels, other bikers or even with the edge of the road.

• Don't crash too often:

One crash subtracts 10 seconds from the time limit. Frequent crashes lead to a game over. This game has no continues.

• Reduce gears before sharp turns:

KickStart has no brake button, so you(may) need to shift down even to gear 1 (if you're using a positional switch) if you want to survive sharp the turns.
