Hello, So you just opened Moonkarts and everything looks wild - school karts, flashy pilots and maps that rotate more than one roller coaster. It's exciting, but also kind of scary, right? I remember looking at the screen thinking, "Ok ... What do I click? How do I not enter last?" Let me be honest - I spoiled my first race.
I clicked on the lobby with no idea what I was doing, collided with all the walls and drove straight to a well at least three times. But hey, that's how you learn. Still, if I could go back, I would do things a little differently. So I thought I would write this to you if you are just starting and want to avoid my novice errors.
The first thing you should do is relax and look around. Do not hurry to click "Running". The interface can be a little very at first, especially if you are playing on your phone like me. There is a lot going on - settings, different maps, pilot options - but you don't have to know everything immediately. Just focus on entering a basic race and ending without turning off the edge. Now, before entering your first match, I recommend checking the training area. I jumped this at first and paid the price. The training offers you the chance to get used to the controls - turning, increasing and braking without the royal opponents passing through you. You will learn how kart reacts, how shifts feel and when it drives.
It sounds boring, but it actually makes you feel much more confident when you enter your first real match. When ready, look for a "normal" running lobby. Avoid anything labeled as "Pro" or with high participation rewards. He pursues the rooms for beginners. Some races have fewer players or easier maps, which is perfect when you are just trying to survive the track without falling. Once I joined a professional room by mistake. It was a disaster.
Everyone was out in seconds, and I kept falling alone on my back like a confusing tourist. When the countdown begins, do not panic. One trick I learned is to press acceleration a fraction of a second after the "2" in the countdown. If you get it right, you will receive some impetus at the beginning. Otherwise, there is no big deal.
It is better to go slowly and stay on the track than fly in front and end in a well. This happened to me more often than I would like to admit. Also, don't worry about winning your first race. Seriously. Just focus on finishing. The lanes are complicated at first, and the curves can sneak. Some of them have sharp jumps and corners that will catch him off guard. But once you know where these points are, it's easier.
The more you play, the more natural it seems. And hey, if someone Zoom passes you like a rocket, don't let him get to you. I used to get frustrated when I saw crazy people and hitting perfect driving. But here's the thing: they probably played much more than you. Let them flex. You will also get there. After your first race, set aside a minute to review what happened. Did you fall from the track somewhere? Did you lose a block of impulse? Maybe you gave a wrong turn? Observing these little things helps.
I started to improve just by remembering where I made a mistake and trying not to do it again. It's so simple. Also, feel free to change karts or characters if something doesn't look right. Some are faster, others deal better - it really depends on your style of play. At first, I kept using the pattern, but then I tried a different pilot with better handling and was suddenly not colliding everywhere. This made a huge difference.
