In Moon Karts, one of the most exciting, laugh-out-loud, and tense racing experiences are the power-ups, and one of the most powerful and clever of these is the Lunar Glide. This isn't just a power-up that speeds you up or protects you; it lets you sabotage those behind you and win the race with a trick!
When you use Lunar Glide, your kart begins to leave a slippery oil trail on the ground. Anyone who touches it immediately skids and loses control. You'll likely find them spinning around and out of the race for seconds, which is enough to cause them to lose their place.
The beauty of Lunar Glide is that it's not just for laughs and jokes as it's also clever and tactical. If you're a skilled player, you'll know how to use it in places that will truly impact the others. For example, if you use it in a tight turn or sharp corner, anyone entering at speed will involuntarily skid, and it'll look very cute as they fly off the road!
On the other hand, if you use it while you're in first place and someone is close behind you, you can simply spray them with some oil, making them regret trying to pass you. This move really makes a difference in critical moments and turns the tide.
Otherwise, the power-up animation is absolutely amazing. As soon as you activate it, you feel like you've left a space trail behind you, and the oil spurts out in a distinctive way, letting everyone know you're still there. All of this turns the game into more than just a race, but also a space battlefield filled with tricks and tactics.
