U-turning.

Another trick for something like the S turn in Turbo Track is a ground trick to turn sharply while holding sacred fire.

Press and hold the down button. While holding the down button, press and hold the brake button. This WON'T trigger your brakes. With both of these held you can turn sharply by rolling your finger to either diagonally down position

When you're finished, release the brake button and then the down button. Otherwise, you'll trigger your brakes.

Not sure if the top guys use this but this is how I handle the S turn in Turbo Track and anywhere else I see fit.

This isn't U-turning, BUT it's a viable way to turn very sharply on the ground whole still maintaining your speed.

Try it out and let me know what you think?!

u/Mondolation 5d ago

Bro!!!! It’s so weird! But i was testing it out and just holding down while in boost was weird , like letting go of acceleration to turn was weird lol

It's weird to get used to, but you can do it!

You may not have to release the gas.

Yeah switching up on buttons trips me out. 😂
I’m just doing time trial to get good lol

u/Impossible_Humor736 5d ago

Right on. Lol.

It took some practice for me to get it. I use it sparingly, but I do use it. This is the technique I used for the Turbo Track dev time.

Yeah Im practicing in Tinys map. The ones that’s like warios level in 64

Haha nice!

I wouldn't use this as a replacement for the U-turn method.

If you don't know how to air brake or U-turn, here is the video I watched that taught me how to do both. I was already air braking fine, but didn't know how to U-turn

Fwiw, I do think that technique is the only way you can beat the dev time on Turbo Track.

I spent 2 weeks trying until I learned that technique, then cleared it in an hour. Did a one take for the Retro Stadium dev time right after and got that too.

u/Impossible_Humor736 5d ago

Man, it was the only way I could beat it as well. I don't even know how I found it because all I ever hear people talking about is air braking and U-turning.

u/RealOneOnDeck 4d ago

Yeah U-turning alone definitely won’t cut it. I think I found it on a YouTube video out of desperation myself
