Great guide, all the tips were very useful! A really useful trick I found while playing is: at the start of the race don't press a, just hold right/left depending on the map, your ufo will just barely glide over the first obstacle and if there's a drop after you'll immediately overtake everyone. This one tip made my runs so much more consistent, because once you overtake everyone you can just hold on to the lead and win that way. Unfortunately doesnt work on every map, specifically map 3 is the one that killed most of my runs because it was super hard just to get the lead
When getting the cherry for Big Bell Race I found the most important moments of each race are right at the beginning. Getting a good start is very important. Once I secured 1st place I would then sort of just coast to stay away from the pack. Lapping racers isn't important at all and getting stuck in the pack while 1st will insure you get swiped. If you get destroyed and have to repeat a lap you can kiss your lead good bye so I found a good strategy was to get the lead but try to stay just behind the person in last place and sort of follow them while keeping an eye on the person behind me to make sure he never quite catches up to me. I don't swipe other racers at all, it's a waste of time and concentration.
I agree, definitely smart to focus on keeping safe over lapping competitors. I would potentially suggest risking it more if you were at the start of a lap since then you won't lose as much for being destroyed, but even then staying safe is more valuable. I also definitely agree with the swipe, it's more trouble than it's worth. Great tips!
Yes you're definitely right. I've been naming them tips when I don't feel like I'm giving as much information but to be fair some of the "guides" still don't include some vital information (mostly due to it only being information I found personally on my way to the cherry). I may change their names and start naming the new ones guides since as you say they get more views and they still are technically guides even if they are bad ones.

Great guide and awesome tips, thanks! Was getting stuck on race 4 but I just got the cherry after watching.

Good thinking, getting the lead early is very valuable so great tip

Also if you struggle handling your UFO you can practice very well with campanella 1 and 2 since those control in the same way as this one
Best tips I've hear of all time: "don't suck and you'll be good" hahahahaha
It looks like these get way more views if they are titled "Guide" rather than "Tips", though I guess you probably noticed that pattern.
