Hold the left or right steering guide to turn. Tap a free part of the track to start or stop drifting; tap Nitro to end the drift and boost. Keyboard: arrows or WASD, Shift/Space to drift, tap Z/B for nitro, R to look behind, Down/S to brake or reverse. The kart accelerates automatically. Gamepad: left stick steers, A boosts, B drifts, X uses an item, LT brakes and RB looks behind.

Hold boost during the countdown, then release near GO at 60–85% wind. Tap boost once to start a sustained burn. Tap again to stop and save fuel; brake also cancels it. Tap when the needle lights for Perfect Nitro. Double-tap for faster-burning Surge, or Shockwave when full. Drift or brake cancels nitro and saves fuel. Nitro gently refills while off (a full tank in 24 seconds). Drift through real bends for 8% per second, follow closely in a slipstream, pass cleanly at close range, jump, do tricks and collect keys for extra fuel. Takedowns, revenge and the final lap also award fuel. X/Enter uses your item; tap steer or item in the air for a trick. Enable tilt in Driving, hold your phone comfortably, it centres automatically. Recenter steering resets straight ahead; drag Tilt sensitivity toward Gentler if turning feels sharp. Mobile races play in landscape. Practice and Drift gates are solo; the Cup runs four races on this course.
