To get familiar with the controls, let's have a look at the following controller layout which will be used throughout this guide for consistency:

Controller scheme

  • Accelerate: The kart’s acceleration is controlled by A input , which activates the engine and enables forward motion. The engine power is indicated by the speedometer, which can reach up to 100% by holding A input which is considered your base speed.

  • Reverse: Hold D-pad down input or Left analog input to drive in reverse.

  • Brake: X input acts as a brake, which can rapidly decelerate the kart to a complete halt.

  • Jump: The kart is equipped with a jump mechanism, which can be triggered by pressing either Left bumper input or Right bumper input .

  • Drift: The jump mechanism can also initiate a drift maneuver if you hold either Left bumper input or Right bumper input while turning.

  • Items: The kart can also utilize various items that can be obtained from item boxes along the track. You can use items by pressing B input , which will launch them in the direction that the kart is facing.

  • Aim: You can aim backward with the items by holding Right trigger input button and then pressing B input .
