Choose a race and get ready to start

Speed Stars includes a wide variety of challenges, from the 60m sprint to 400m races, hurdle events, and more. Choose your favorite event, get familiar with the controls, and prepare to race against the clock or other runners.

Alternate your steps to build speed and sprint forward

Do not repeatedly press the same key or press arrow keys as fast as you can. It’s not the right way to run fast in this game, no matter which challenge you choose. Instead, you must alternate the left and right arrow keys, each controlling a leg of your runner, in a smooth rhythm, like left, right, left, right, … Your goal is to find a smooth, repeatable rhythm that keeps your runner running fast and upright. Don’t lose your rhythm anyway!

Adjust your strategy to the race distance

Finding the best rhythm is a big part of your performance. But in longer races, you also need to manage your stamina. Here’s the strategic approach you can apply to different races in Speed Stars.

Short sprints. Prioritize a clean start and quick acceleration. With little time to recover, every mistake matters.
Longer races. Focus on maintaining a sustainable rhythm instead of starting too aggressively and struggling later.
Hurdle races. Keep your running rhythm as you approach each barrier, then use the additional hurdle control at the right moment.
Relay races. Coordinate your running with the baton exchange. A poorly timed handoff can cost valuable time.
