Momentum: the fastest path through any stage
Tips
The game itself states that momentum is the key to beating stages as fast as possible.
- Chain Star Spins in a row to stack speed.
- Use Star Dive while already moving fast — the more momentum you carry in, the farther you fly.
Recovering from mistakes
Warn
The game gives you two recovery tools: Wall Kick for wall bounces and Quick Reset for everything else.
