In Moon Karts, power-ups aren't just extras and they actually make the difference in a race. You could be in second or third place and suddenly use a power-up correctly overtaking everyone and winning the race and one of the most important power-ups in the game is the Lunar Bolt.
The Lunar Bolt is a dangerous strategic weapon and when you activate it, lightning descends from the sky and strikes a specific kart of your competitors, paralyzing it and slowing it down, giving you a significant advantage. If you use it at the right time, you can stall a competitor who would have easily won, or pave the way for you to overtake and win the race.
Those who play the game often and understand it well use the Lunar Bolt intelligently. That means they don't use it as soon as it appears. Rather, they wait for the right moment, such as when a competitor is close to the finish line or when they're in a crowd of racers, when the strike will affect more than one person. Of course, you need to be quick in making good decisions, as any delay could waste the opportunity.
Also, if you're the target of the Lunar Bolt so you need to know how to act quickly. For example if you have another power-up that can protect or speed you up after the strike so you need to use it immediately.
Moon Karts isn't just about racing and speed as it's a game of tactics and strategy in race. Power-ups, especially the Lunar Bolt, are tools for smart gameplay. If you want to win and prove yourself a great space racer, you need to learn when and how to use them correctly.
