Mario Kart World provides more freedom than ever when it comes to finding your way through any given track, but no matter which route you take, you’ll want to drive fast. Here are all the main ways to get speed boosts in Mario Kart World.
How to get speed boosts
There are several ways to gain speed with boosts in Mario Kart World, including drifts, tricks, rail grinds, and more. We’ve listed them all below, along with details on how to perform each type of boost. Make use of them all to stay in first place all the way to the finish line.
Boost at the start of a race
The quickest way to get a head start on the competition is by gaining a boost as a race begins. Hold down the gas when the number “2” fully appears on screen during the countdown, like in the image above. If you hold the gas too late, you’ll have a normal start to the race. However, if you hold the gas too early, your vehicle will stall, and you’ll be forced into a slower start than usual.
