Mach Bike Question

[Wired Cous]

So I'm using the mach bike in a race and I come to a standstill because something hit me etc.
Anyways when I'm stopped should I do a mini boost (hold brake and accelerate and wait for sparks) or just accelerate normally?
Also I know Peach gives an acceleration boost but I change characters so I'm just talking about mach bike in general.

Thanks in Advance.

do a wheelie until u get back up to speed. in my opinion, waiting to get a boost while ur stopped wastes more time than driving normal, but thats just me. (Im mainly a kart person anyway)

hope i helped

if i get hit i use the boost if i spin out i go normal with a wheelie

Although I don't use the Mach Bike much due to not liking it's drift, i'd say you should use a wheelie until you get up to about half the normal speed then do a boost.

IMO, you should wheelie right away until you get back up to speed.
However, if your vehicle has slow acceleration, i think it would be worth it to boost first.

If you get hit hard enough to were you come to a dead stop, you definately should hold sparks to boost.. Other then that, it is much easier to weelie if you get bumped or spin out.

If you think it waists time, it doesn't. any time I've ever been blown up, or simultaniously hit along with someone else using the the mach bike/ flame runner, at a dead stop they will try to weelie a way, I will hold boost, and once it is achieved, I do pull ahead of them every time...

the bullit bike doesn't need it, because its accelerations is sufficient enough to reach rull speed in a second or two, were as with the mach bike or flame runner, it is much easier to hold boost.... aspecially for the flame runner were it doesn't even start to accelerate for a couple seconds from a dead start. the mach bike has slightly better acceleration, but not by much.

the only time you should roll from a dead stop instead of holding boost is when your right in front of a boost pad, or just short of a rogue mushroon or something...


good luck man,

also, It sucks trying to wheelie away while your being bumped by the people behind you.. it kills your speed so you can't take off anyway..

If you hold boost, you are not suseptable to bumps, and once you take off, your are put right back in the pace with everyone else, so its all good...
