    mine cart question

    I was just wondering if there's any way to have a controlled landing with the mine cart, or if it's just pure random chance that you're not gonna go rolling end over end whenever u try to land a jump... if there's a way, i'd love to know, cuz i don't get it

    When I try to find a solution I found that if you land first on the front wheel you are more safe.

    That's a good question! It's not as random as it seems, it just doesn't forgive imprecision as easily.

    So the minecart is a vehicle that works the same way as a bike - but with a few twists:
    1. The throttle is always pressed, so it's always accelerating up to the full speed. You can only break, but not accelerate yourself.
    2. There is no suspension spring, so it lands quite violently and forces you to find the right angle and correct the driving line.

    It's less about how you land and more about where you land.

    the minecart levels are pretty fun...landings seem pretty random but maybe it just requires super precision.... also it reminds me of donkey kong country haha

    my tips is to never land without pressing the gas. i think maybe thei minecart is an EV. it seems to brake while coasting =D

    Land slightly on the front wheel, it's not 100% consistent but it's a lot more consistent as landing on both or on the back wheel. That's what has worked for me so far.

    Also, it seems to help if you hold brake after every jump to stop the wheels, I try to hold the brake after every jump until my controller stops vibrating. Not sure if its actually necessary but it seems to serve me well.
