Mini guide
This is something I mostly use in one-player mode against the computer-controlled cars. Start a new game, clear the first round, but do NOT go on to the next round right away. Instead, hover your mouse pointer over “Start Next Round”, and you should see all four cars snap back into their starting positions. Now, go do something else for a minute or two, and wait a bit. On occasion, a power-up will appear somewhere on the field, and if you’re lucky, it’ll be a shield, a wrench, or an engine. If you’re VERY lucky, it’ll appear right in front of you, but even if it appears in front of another car, you can quite often pick it up before they even start moving (especially if it’s the red car that keeps backing into the barrier). – Becky Mahy
