To perform a hydro jump, follow the sequence of accelerate-brake-boost (let go of each in turn). As soon as you are at maximum speed, let go of the boost and you will continue at that speed until you land or hit something. Jump into the air and max out your speed using boosts. Get used to hydro-jumping, it's the only way you'll win on the harder tracks. This is exactly the same principal as any road-based racing game, and is usually referred to as a "racing line" around the corner. The less the boat turns at faster speeds, the less the speed you loose because of that turn. Be careful on circuit tracks not to over use the boost early on to gain the best split times as you will end up with none or next to no boost on the last lap.įor cornering try to take a longer, wider path along the turns and avoid sharp turns if you can. Use the checkpoint times as a guide to how well you are doing over previous runs. The longer and flatter the ramp, the more speed increase it gives. If it's a ramp with arrows going up it, try to hit only one side of it while following the arrows to get the speed increase. You'll have to wait for the engines to switch to boost mode though.Īvoid hitting anything unless it's a ramp. When the figure 1 starts to fade switch back to the accelerate controlĭone correctly this will get you that jump start as well as a 4 second boost.When the figure 2 starts to fade switch back to the brake/boost control.As soon as the figure 3 starts to fade, switch to the accelerate control.Be holding the brake or boost control when the track appears.The most effective is the boost super start - a way of getting a jump start at the beginning as well as a 4 second boost immediately. There are various ways to get a super start, all involving using the controls of the boat during the 3-2-1 start sequence.
