Rambi Race Minigame Tips
- Destroy the Dirt Terrain to Fill Up the Gauge
- Use Lift Off to Avoid Mud and Water
- Use the Lift Off Shortcuts
Destroy the Dirt Terrain to Fill Up the Gauge
At the start of the race, destroy the dirt terrain to fill up the gauge. This gauge lets you speed up and create liftoff slopes that you can ride on to create shortcuts on the race track.
Use Lift Off to Avoid Mud and Water
If you are driving towards mud or water, activate lift off to jump over it.
Use the Lift Off Shortcuts
There are two shortcuts on the race track that are accessible only if you lift off.
Shortcut Above the Tunnel
This shortcut takes you to the top of the tunnel at the latter half of the race track. It does not shorten the travel distance but does not contain any mud and water that can slow you down.
Shortcut Across the Middle Track
This is a shortcut found in the middle of the race track that lets you skip immediately to the finish line. Make sure to have the liftoff gauge filled up to create a slope that leads to a floating platform and on to the purple towers.
