The guide

Overview

Hop in the van and prepare for a crazy race in the Pickle and Peanut: Crash Course game. The road ahead is full of obstacles, so you better be careful. Can you help the two friends ride as far as possible? Let's see you in action. Your job is to drive the vehicle and see how far you can go through all the obstacles. Don't worry. You may also find some help on your way that will help you reach higher distances. How far do you think you will be able to go? How to play the game Firstly, you need to learn how to drive the van. You will only need to use the Arrow keys for this task. Press the Up Key to speed up and the Down Key to slow down or reverse. It's best to start slow and get used to the road. High speeds are easier to control after some practice, but you choose how you approach this challenge. Your goal is to reach the longest distance. However, the road has lots of bumps and obstacles that will stop your ride if you lose control or take lots of damage. Also, acquiring loads of points is a must if you want a high final score. You gather them by driving and collecting items like the steering wheels that float around. Lastly, a great help is the turbo boost. It will make the van go faster, and it's also worth a good amount of points. Adding this to your final score, you will have a high result every time. Also, you can always try to beat your last score, so play as many times as you like.

What it's like to play

Speed is the obvious draw, but racing games are really about control. Holding a line through a bend, timing a boost, judging an overtake. The first race of a session is usually scrappy. By the third or fourth, you have learned the track and the car, and the finish starts to feel earned. Races are short, so even a brief session covers a few of them.

How to play

1Pick a car or kart if the game offers a choice, then start the race and hold accelerate as the countdown ends.
2Steer with arrow keys, WASD or tilt. Keep inputs small and smooth, especially at high speed.
3Brake before corners and accelerate out of them. Carrying too much speed in is the most common mistake.
4Watch for shortcuts and boost pads on the track; many games hide a faster route off the main line.
