Details

The fastest—and most confounding—item at your disposal! Build up speed, then redirect and multiply that speed for ludicrous comebacks!

“EXPERT” items only appear for players with strong EXP, and never appear on Gear 1.

When YOU'VE got it... When THEY'VE got it...
  • While riding the Garden Top, you’ll bump other players like a giga-heavyweight. Use your momentum to send them off course.
  • Make quick, decisive turns to keep your speed. Only make small adjustments if it’s crucial; sometimes it’s better to deflect off a wall!
  • Charge while boosting or riding slopes to store up crazy speed; quickly turn, then release it to blast away. If you’re boosting, you can also charge to turn slightly while moving.
  • If you run into a wall and get knocked directly back, the Top will slow down to let you get your bearings. Remember, when you don’t know what’s going on, it’s usually safe to charge.
  • Trap items and missiles won’t just stop the Garden Top, they’ll destroy it—and someone riding the Top can only move in straight lines. Don’t let them get away; fight back!
  • There’s no point trying to bump a Garden Top, and the rotational force will normally clash with items like Grow and Invincibility—but they’re vulnerable while charging. Attack when you see sparks.
  • As the Garden Top approaches 1st place, it’ll start to shake, eventually vibrating out from under the rider. Expect the rider to make a move for your position!
