If you've played Moon Karts before, you know how much the races in it rely not only on driving, but also on using the right power-ups at the right time. One of the best power-ups I've encountered in the game is one called Celestial Thrust, and I'm not kidding!
Celestial Thrust is a super-speed boost. When you use it, it feels like your kart has literally turned into a rocket, literally flying. It gives you insane acceleration for a short period of time, allowing you to overtake those in front of you or even catch up with people who were trailing you by a few meters.
The real advantage isn't just speed, but when you use it. For example, if you use it on a turn or at the wrong time, you could miss your chance or even crash into a wall! But if you use it correctly, whether on a long straight or at a critical moment before the finish line, you'll feel like the champion of the race, with everyone watching as you pass them one by one.
Personally, I like to save it for the last lap, or when I feel the gap between me and the frontrunner is too wide. Indeed, it can often turn the race around at the last second because of it.
Smart people plan carefully when to use it, and that's what differentiates an average player from a professional. The secret isn't just in getting the power-up, but in knowing how to use it correctly.
Celestial Thrust doesn't just give you a boost of speed so it can change the outcome of the entire race. This is what makes Moon Karts not just a racing game, but a game of thinking and tactics as well.
