What and where is Backroom Velocity? But no one asks how is Backroom Velocity. A 5-lapper that was first born as an April Fools track for SRB2Kart back in April 2022 that missed the funny day...and got turned into a legitimate track for ArcadePak - returning to Ring Racers as part of the Super Striker GP Round 3 update.


Backroom Velocity is a track that, while looking open with few walls, is still what you would call a certified "ArcadeStriker" track when there's a lot of sharp turns to drift, a single tripwire cut and a big jump before the final turn. But remember that like with DWZ and RTZ, you have the new sliptide as your friend with any sneaker panels you run into!




TIPS AND TRICKS

  • The starting sneaker panel is a bit far from the first turn - but if you get a First Blood boost or are already going fast into it from a previous lap, you could still harness a well-timed sliptide into it.

  • The tripwire cut is fenced, but make sure you can still take a straight line to avoid walls...and drift in time to not fall off the road in the turn in front of it.

  • Remember that you get Voltage after the big jump thanks to the trick panel - make good use of those faster driftsparks for the final turn, but be careful with where you release your driftboost.
