Dash Jumping~ [Tutorial]
Post by shadowfyren on official forum.
What is Dash Jumping?Dash jumping(DJ) is a method or technique of racing which helps you maintain top speed while consuming much smaller amounts of your Dash bar(Blue Bar) than regular dashing. Dash Jumping is not just dashing then double jumping, its a timed processes of holding/releasing dash and jumping.
wallace91chau wrote:IGN: Wallace DJ..don exactly go any or much faster, but then it save a lot of blue bar
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Is this the only way to be fast?
No, there are many methods of being "fast" or being first. Many people find the usual way of dashing to be easier with and stick with it. That does not mean that they will always loose to a dash jumper, because some times when people are just learning to dash jump they don't do it properly causing them to slow down. But on tracks such as Speed Training, a dash jumper will have the advantage of longer "bursts" of speed while circling the track. While on other tracks like hurdles, it is much harder to Dash Jump(but those who can do it, will be faster) so some might find it safer to just jump over the hurdles to avoid falling down. In the end dash jumping is just a method that will help you to be faster, but you should do what you have the most fun doing.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Controls
Default controls:Movement: Arrow keysDash: [ Z ] Jump: [CTRL] Use Item: [Shift]
You can change the controls from the options menu ingame, different people prefer using different controls, here are the most common ones: Z,X ,CC,V,BC,V, Space
Your controls dont really matter, just choose whats most comfortable for you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++The processes of Dash Jumping:.
Dashing jumping properly requires practice and use so if you aren't able to get it immediately just keep trying and you will be able to do it soon.
1.Approach maximum speed by dashing or going over a booster.
2.After you have approached your desired speed, hold down the dash button and press jump
3.At the height of the first jump, simultaneously release the dash button and push jump to do a double jump at high speed.
4.Right before you reach the ground hold dash and press jump just like step 1 and repeat the process.
To Sumarize: Dash(Hold),Jump(Reach maximum height),Release Dash & Jump.
Thats it! now you know how to dash jumping. Just keep practicing and you will be able to do it like a pro :D

Introduction to Goddess Park (Hong Kong)
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful lake in the park of a Goddess. A woodcutter dropped a bronze hammer into the lake. The Goddess wanted to test the woodcutter's honesty, so she offered him a bronze hammer, a silver hammer, and a golden hammer. The honest woodcutter took back his own bronze hammer. The Goddess wanted to reward the woodcutter, so she gave him both hammers.
Time passed, and the story was forgotten. One day, Lina lost her voice. She walked through the lake and the Goddess appeared again.
Exploration park (Taiwan)
Exploration Park is designed for meeting friends and making new friends. Activities are geared for groups, such as hide-and-seek and traveling together. This park also has a secret, which adds excitement to the experience.
Goddess mission (Hong Kong version exclusive)
This mission starts with the same premise as the Goddess Park mission. However, Lina loses her voice and can no longer cure everywhere. The Goddess appears and makes her an offer: If Lina can realize the Goddess's wish, the Goddess will give her own voice to Lina. If the player finishes the mission, the player wins a crystal ball and the Goddess's voice, played by Stephy Tang.
