- Auto accel
- 800% acceleration
- 110% top speed
- Infinite tether like Lightning Shield
- Resists going upward on slopes
- Less friction
- Can always turn your sprite
- Turning speed does not get weaker at high speeds
- Turning speed is normal underwater
- Keeps moving in momentum direction, regardless of how
you turn
- Releasing a drift redirects all your momentum in that
direction
- Floats over bananas, damage sectors and offroad
- No stair janking while floating
- Hold drift for extra gravity. Not only does this fast
fall (this stacks with true fast falling), it builds
momentum down slopes too!
- Parries Big Players (Grow), Invincibility, Flame Shield
and, of course, other Tops -- all except if you're
grinding
- Wipes out anyone you touch
- Infinite weight like Bubble Shield
- Does not water skip
- Does not water run while holding drift
This is all the visual effects and item logic of the Top
minus (almost all [1]) physics adjustments when a player is
riding one.
While on a Top:
- Otherwordly humming while floating
- Cannot drift [1]. Instead, holding drift begins grinding
the Top into the ground -- sparks fly out
- Sprite tilts left and right as you turn
- No wheel screech when turning too far
- Speed lines while holding drift
- Tripwire Boost effect scales to cover you AND the Top
- One hit and you lose it
- Throwing forward, getting hit or just losing it because
you were in first place for too long: the Top flies out
from under you and begins snaking like crazy
- Throwing backward also makes the Top fly out from under
you but it also thrusts you forward. The Top dies
instantly so it's not dangerous ;-)
- If you're in first for too long, it begins vibrating
- If you tumble, it dances across your entire screen
A loose top will tumble anyone it hits.
When it's placed by the level, it's given to whoever has the best position at time of stealing. Since this is meant for duels, this means always the other player.
This behavior is also used as a default whenever its owner gets unset for whatever reason.
If there is literally NO ONE (1P), then rotate in place violently.
- Banana, Eggman Items, Proxi Mine, Land Mine, Hyudoro, and Drop Targets are now placeable in maps.
- By default, will only appear when in 1v1s. (Extra flag can be checked to enable spawning in all modes.)
- Most of these objects will need tweaks to account for being placeable now.
- Don't skip on sloped water. Prevents water skipping on the top of the waterfall and then continuing the skip onto the water at the bottom in Aqueduct Crystal.
- Fix Nova Shore regression in this branch by prevents water running if you can step down onto real ground.
The actual issue was that turning was nerfed by a flat x0.5 when strafing was enabled, but the strafe amount was speed based. This meant that you got way less turning at low speed, and no strafe to make up for it.
