Cloudtop Cruise is a whimsical track set high in the clouds, featuring bouncy clouds, lightning strikes, and sections inside a giant beanstalk. The track emphasizes aerial maneuvers, anti-gravity, and avoiding environmental hazards.
Strategy:
- Bouncy Clouds: The initial section involves driving over bouncy clouds. Use them to perform tricks and gain small boosts.
- Lightning Storm: As you progress, you'll enter a lightning storm. Lightning bolts will strike the track, creating temporary hazards. Avoid the dark spots on the ground.
- Beanstalk Interior: Drive inside a giant beanstalk in anti-gravity. This section has many turns and opportunities to bump into opponents for boosts.
- Final Gliding Section: A long gliding section over the clouds. Aim for boost rings and try to land on the final straight with maximum momentum.
This track benefits from karts with good handling and gliding stats. Defensive items are very useful to protect against lightning strikes or incoming shells in the narrow beanstalk. Pay close attention to the ground for lightning strike warnings.
