How to Get a Starting Boost in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

by

Success in *Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds* depends on mastering the tracks, drifting skillfully, and using items strategically. However, a strong start is crucial – falling behind at the beginning can be a major disadvantage. The game’s starting boost system can be tricky to learn, and a poorly timed start will leave you several seconds behind the competition.

How To Get A Perfect Start In Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

To start strong in *Sonic CrossWorlds* and get a speed boost, players need to accelerate at the beginning of the race. The boost you receive depends on where the meter lands when the countdown finishes. If it’s in the green zone, you’ll get a boost. But if you accelerate too early and hit the red zone, your car will stall.

Players prefer to keep the gas pedal fully pressed when the race starts, instead of releasing it right before the green light. This guarantees you’ll actually begin moving.

Revving the engine too much, too soon will cause it to stall. However, there’s a precise timing method to avoid this.

To learn how to get a good start in Sonic CrossWorlds, repeatedly begin and restart time trials.

Wait For The Countdown To Hit 2 & Hold The Gas Down

To get the best boost, don’t gently tap the gas. Instead, wait for the number 2 to appear on the countdown timer, then press and hold the gas pedal down completely. For perfect timing, start holding it down just a little bit before the 2 shows up.

Players should try this technique, but keep in mind the outcome might vary a little depending on how quickly they react.

Button For Revving The Engine – Gas

  • PC: Space
  • Xbox: A
  • PlayStation: Cross
  • Switch: B

If you’re playing with a controller, we suggest setting the gas to the Right Trigger. Since you’ll be holding it down for most of the race, it’s much more comfortable.
