Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled Boost-Start
In Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, boost-starts work a little differently than other kart racers. It still requires timing though, which is going to be familiar to anyone who plays these games.
When the race is about to begin, four lights will appear at the top of the screen. The first three will light up in red and when the fourth lights up in green, you’re off.
At the starting line, when you use your accelerator, it only stays active for a second. This is unlike Mario Kart where you can hold the button down and burn out.
To make sure you get a boost-start, you need to wait until all three red lights have activated and then press your accelerator just before the green light comes on. That way, your boost gauge (in the bottom right corner) is nearly full when the race starts and you’ll be off and in the lead right away.
The timing can be really tricky, so experiment with what works best for you and enjoy.
