Rocket Start
Captain Falcon salutes the cheering crowd before addressing his rivals!
"Show me your moves!"[6] So saying, Captain Falcon demonstrates perfect Rocket Start technique, leaping ahead with

Bill searched the stands for any of his old friends, tapping his feet on the karts floor. Hearing the captains challenge while he prepares to start with a rocket burst, he grits his teeth and prepares to leave Falcon choking on his exhaust.
Bill grits his teeth at Falcon's cocky attitude, and charges his engines! [2] Unfortunately, he is unable to spark a burst, but his
High Acceleration allows him to zip out of the starting gate at
TWO Momentum!
Action: Rocket Start!
Rocket start
Oomph and Mario prepare for a Rocket Start, engines rumbling!
"Morituri Te Salutamus!" "The correct quote is "Ave Caesar, Morituri Te Salutant. Using first person multiple implies royality. I'm a plumber, and even I know that." "...you! Oomph remember... Mario lose Oomph's job many years ago! Oomph takes revengeance today!"[6] Oomph's newfound determination fuels a spectacular Rocket Boost, and he flies forward with
THREE Momentum! Mario, [1] befuddled by the crazy Koopa, forgets to shift into drive! The Kart sputters, spewing nasty black smoke, and he gains
NO Momentum!
