Match Race, no non-NBT boosts?
03/08/14 at 05:01:39

Hi,

I'm a beginner in SMK. I did the non-NBT boosts (in Time Trial) successfully using a 180° powerslide. Now I tried it in Match Race mode. But I dont hear higher engine noise any more.

Is the boost not possible in Match Race, or is there only a problem with the sound? Or do I have to modify my timing for the boost? I noticed, that for the initial boost I have to change my timing in Match Race too.

BTW: I'm using the PAL version.

^boosts in match race are pretty much the same as in TT, if you are doing a 180 turn you should get one if doing correctly. I think the engine sound is quieter in Match Race than in TT (prob because the noise of two engines would be off putting), I can't tell if there is a pitch change in engine sound in match or not but the boost will still be there.

I had never noticed this but Molly may be right on that point:

And yes, even non-NBT boosts do work in Match Race. Wink

The feeling of being a world champion is intoxicating, and I didn't want to ever not be the world champion again. Then I realized it didn't matter that much since I had nothing more to prove and achieved my most important goal(s).

I'm pretty sure there's no change in the pitch of the engine due to having coins. If you do a boost when you have 0-2 coins or so, you WILL hear the pitch change. Same with GP. You actually can hear a change in pitch when you collect coins. You may or may not notice it frequently, because you collect a bunch of coins early in the race when the engine is constantly changing pitch (accelerating).

In Battle Mode, you hear pitch change when you do a boost, just like TT. The common thread is there are no coins.
