Tips for drift games
- Start the drift with a short tap of the handbrake or brake, then steer into the slide.
- Gentle throttle keeps a drift going; full throttle often spins the car.
- Tracks with long sweeping corners are easier to learn on than tight hairpins.

About Tidal Kart
From the game's developer:
Six buggies, twelve tracks and a suspicious number of flying coconuts. Race Kai, Nalu, Coral, Rio, Sunny and Reef from Coral Coast and Lava Lagoon to Neon Nights, Frost Peak, Desi Dhamaal and Sakura Sprint. Hold drift through the corners until the sparks go blue, orange, then pink, and let go for a big boost. Launch off the dunes and pull a trick in the air for an extra kick on landing. Five ways to play: Race, Time Trial, Elimination, Battle and 2 Players on one device. Smash item crates for nitro, rockets, coconuts and shields, pick Chill, Pro or Legend rivals, earn coins for the Garage and chase your best lap. Driving the wrong way gets you yelled at. Politely.
