To get a speed boost at the beginning of a race:
−
** Press and hold A after the 2nd red light finishes dimming, and before the blue light is halfway lit up.
+
* Press and hold A after the 2nd light finishes dimming, and before the 3rd light is halfway lit up.
−
*** You have a 10 frame (1/3 second) time frame to press A.  Earlier within those 10 frames is better, but makes a very small difference.

* To save an extra .01 (known as Everettstart):
+
During a rocket boost, sliding is faster, so usually it's best to start sliding as soon as possible.
−
*# Start holding A much earlier (before Lakitu gets into position).
+
* If you need to turn sharply at the beginning of a race ([[Frappe_Snowland#Non-Shortcut_3lap|FS]]/[[Yoshi_Valley#Non-Shortcut_3lap|YV]]), do a quick AB-spin before sliding.
−
*# Release A ''before'' reaching the aforementioned 10 frames.  Then press A again during those 10 frames, as you would for a normal rocket boost (again, earlier is better).
+
* If you need to go in reverse at the beginning of a shortcut race ([[Frappe_Snowland#Shortcut_3lap|FS]]/[[D.K.'s_Jungle_Parkway#Shortcut_3lap|DK]]), do a [[MK64_Tactics#Reverse-AB-spin|reverse-AB-spin]].  Release down to start moving.
−
*# The less time you spend releasing A is better.
+
 
−
*#* If you release/press A too soon, you wipe out with gray smoke.  If you release/press A too late, you wipe out with orange smoke.
+
====Everettstart====
−
* As when [[MK64_Tactics#Shrooming|shrooming]], sliding is faster, so typically you want to start a slide as soon as possible, and then either [[MK64_Tactics#Mini_Turbos|MT]] or [[MK64_Tactics#Shrooming|shroom]] at the end of the rocket boost.
+
To save an extra .01 during a rocket boost:
−
** If you need to turn sharply at the beginning of a race (e.g. [[Frappe_Snowland#Non-Shortcut_3lap|FS]] or [[Yoshi_Valley#Non-Shortcut_3lap|YV]]), do a quick AB-spin before starting the slide.
+
# Start holding A before Lakitu gets into position.
−
* If you need to go in reverse at the beginning of a shortcut race (e.g. [[Frappe_Snowland#Shortcut_3lap|FS]] or [[D.K.'s_Jungle_Parkway#Shortcut_3lap|DK]]), do a [[MK64_Tactics#Controls|reverse-AB-spin]].  Once you're facing the right direction, release down to start moving fast.
+
# Release A ''before'' reaching the 10 frames.  Then press A again during those 10 frames.
 +
*# Releasing A for less time is better.
 +
*#* If you press A again too soon, you wipe out with gray smoke.  If you release A too late, you wipe out with orange smoke.
