Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers Guide

Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers is the new version of Faerie Cloud Racers. The real differences are that it's in a 3d style view, there are powerups, you can get bonus points, and there are a set amount of lives per game. There is a main 3d view and a minimap view as well. Each round you compete against three other faerie racers. Use the left and right arrow keys to turn left and right. You try to cut off their path to cause them to crash and keep yourself from crashing into other paths or walls. If you win a round you move on the the next one. You get progressively faster in each round. There are three powerups that let you; go through paths, slow you down, and make your path last longer.  You can also get bonus points in different amounts for making tight turns. Here are some tips to help you.

1. Do not use the main view! Always look at the minimap because you can see everything better.

2. Don't aim for powerups, the only one that is worth it is the Slorg one because you go slower. Only try to get them if they are close to you.

3. Each level do the same thing. Try to make yourself get into a rhythm of what to do over and over. Personally I go in a small rectangle each round.

4. Don't try for bonus points. A few extra points isn't worth a death.

With these tips it is pretty easy to get on the highscore tables with a bit of practice.
My second try at the game using only these tips.
