TIPS AND TRICKS
If you get the First Blood boost, go wild and sliptide through that first big turn for advantage.
Got an Orbinaut or Jawz on the first item set? Wait and see if you can hit someone in the big sloped turn after the jump- you might send them straight into a pit :]
There are several straights you can take advantage of to tether off other players. Can be really helpful if you don't have any items on you.
Don't forget you can sliptide off boosters - if you know how to get a wavedash off one, it might be handy to keep for a later straight.
If you are playing normally, there's ring capsules and Orbi capsules over the fan area. Note you can cancel the fastfall mid-air if doing it over the fan.
Go for a blue or rainbow drift in the final spiral! You don't want to get caught slacking in the final straight of the final lap, do you?
