Accelerate is an arcade kart racing Game World featuring a selection of courses, often 2 for each setting, and a selection of items players can use to get the upper hand on their opponents.

Accelerate is currently in Alpha; feedback can be sent to the developers via the Accelerate Alpha category on Tower Unite's forums.

Gameplay

Accelerate matches consist of one race which lasts ~3-to-5 minutes, currently making it the Game World with the shortest match length.

Items & Drifting

During races, players pick up boxes to obtain items to boost themselves or sabotage others. Drifting charges up speed boosts, making it a useful tool to get ahead of the competition.

Shortcuts & Alternate Paths

Most tracks have shortcuts which require drifting and/or items to use, and most tracks have longer coin paths, which in a future update will grant extra Units at the end of a race for passing through.

Post-Round

After the race, the top 3 players are displayed on podiums themed after the current map, and a map vote for the next race will begin.

Trivia

• Accelerate is the 6th Game World added to Tower Unite.
• Accelerate is a returning Game World from GMod Tower, where it was originally named Source Karts.
  • Rounds in Source Karts used to consist of 3 unique tracks per map, followed by 2 rounds of Battle Mode, rather than the 1-track race format used today.
