Formula E: The electric F1, explained

Sigh… it’s not Mario Kart, it’s F-Zero. In F-Zero you get a boost at the end of each lap that increases the power of your engine. So, top speed and acceleration are increased for a period of time.

Mario Kart, F-Zero, sonic team racing, etc., etc., have boost pads on the ground that give a very short boost (well, F-Zero on SNES has a boost pad that lasts for a significant amount of time… still not long enough to last more than a few turns and when you break, you lose momentum and speed.)… and F-E doesn’t do this.

F-E is more like the S boosts in F-Zero on SNES, that allow you to increase the output of your engine for roughly 1/4 the length of a track in most courses. But the time duration is much longer, so it last long enough for multiple laps.

Closest thing in Mario Kart is the star power up.

But also fan boost is stupid.
