Shift slightly after the gauge indicator is completely full and flashing. Don't shift too early or too late, as that slows you down. If you hit even one, you might as well quit and start over (except for Taris, more on that later). In any case, to get a good time, you must follow these basic steps:įirst and most obviously, don't hit any obstacles.

This alone can help shave seconds off your time. Control is vital here, so if your game stutters at all due to a slow computer, turn down your graphical settings in order to have a smooth ride as possible. Basically its a race against the clock, while avoiding obstacles and hitting the boost pads.

The goal is to get to the finish line as fast as possible. There are three swoop tracks in the entire game, only one of which is mandatory.
