Help about trusters

When I go from the side wall to a ceiling wall I often miss and fall... what's the technique?

It also really depends on how the two track pieces are set up; you would perform it slightly differently depending on the angles of them and how far apart they are.

In general though, make sure you’re aiming at the next track before you jump for a transfer. You don't want to be parallel to it, you want to be aimed diagonally toward it so you’re jumping into it rather than jumping next to it.

After playing several Nightmare Fuel tracks I think I got a hang of it, the trusters are really helpful and honestly it's because I wasn't aware that I could control directions while being upside down, they're just reversed.

Also make sure you're boosting the entire time. You shouldn't need to use the grip jets on every transfer if you do the transfer correctly (it can be quite a bit slower depending on the exact layout).

A simplified way of describing the transfers when you don't use grip is that there's small magnets in the wheels that pull you toward whatever road your wheels are facing, and those magnets get stronger when you're moving faster, so you want to keep boosting leading up to the transfer, keep boosting during the jump, and keep boosting during the rotation.
