Get the maximum score in Maximum Car

Neon and loud-mouthed, Maximum Car is everything you could want in a voxel arcade racer. Maximum Car relishes fiery explosions, nasty wipeouts, and just making a big old spectacle. It’s great fun just messing around crashing into people, but there are some elements of strategy if you’re looking to get as many coins and points as possible. Be sure to follow our tips to ensure you win the race and get the highest score.

Burn rubber
Drifting is a racing game staple, and Maximum Car is no exception. It’s true that riding around haphazardly wrecking other cars is a large part of the game’s personality, but skillful drifting is just as important. For starters, you don’t want to lose the race by crashing into a wall full speed.

But other than just simple vehicle control, drifting also gives you a nice boost if you can maintain it for a few seconds. To do it effectively, hold down the wheel on the side of the road you want to turn into, and with your other hand swipe up on the boost or bomb arrows to go into a drift. Easy peasy.

Vehicle of mass destruction
Sure, crashing into walls and other cars puts a dent in your car, but Maximum Car gives you a generous health bar to work with for a good reason. You should absolutely smash into other cars, as long as they’re going the same direction as you.

Smashing into new cars you haven’t seen before unlocks and allows you to buy and drive them
yourself, so crash to collect them all! Besides, it’s really fun to make things blow up.

Don’t forget you’re in it to win it
With all of the explosions, and crashes, and goofy sayings, and drifting, it’s easy to forget that you’re running an actual race. Most of your coins come from placing first, so make sure you’re fighting for the finish. If you’re in danger of losing, focus on that before taking out your opponents. Use your speed bumps as they recharge, and drift if you need to get a boost. Stay out of oncoming traffic if the game tells you a car is coming so as to avoid unnecessary damage and delays.

Maximum Car can be fantastic mindless fun, but if you want to score lots of coins and unlock new cars and missions, follow these tips to really master the game.
