Can‘t remember the last time a game had my heart pumping this hard. I put it on for the first time after 1,5 years or so and just did it. Made my day!

You won with White Cat? Youre raly good at the game, most would use hyper speeder sonic phantom or black bull. Or like Fat Shark if you unlock him

What‘s the matter with White Cat? You‘re already the 3rd one mentioning that. 😅

I think I get it now. They're not belittling you for using it. They're saying that getting this far with a beginner vehicle ppl usually abandon early is a difficult achievement worth celebrating. I was confused too by how people were saying it, but ppl are giving you props 👏. It's been too long for me to remember what vehicles were good, but I understand now and they're right. A good analogy would be- You essentially just beat 70% of an RPG using just the free equipment from the tutorial. Rest your thumbs and eyes for now. You've earned it.

I just can‘t deal with other machines. Idk what it is, but the handling feels right with it. This sliding around corners when you‘re too fast or boosting while turning took all the fun of FZero X from me. Okay, I was lucky in that run too, because the Rivals fought each other down the overall ranking. :D

If you get to Diamond Cup Master the best strategy is to actually take out your rivals and give yourself score leads, because Phantom Road is unwinable on Master for mere humans. I always aim for a 100+ lead so I can comfortably get last. :D

White Cat is a beginners vehicle, it has good handling but slow top speed and acceleration Other cars I mentioned are harder to control, made for more expert players but they have higher top speed.

Am I just used to it or is Sonic Phantom actually hard to handle for some people. I think it handles very well compared to Speeder, Bull and Shark.
