The players are under pressure in terms of time and performance in the race. Just knowing they are moving closer to a new record might influence their thinking, and that in turn affects their control. In their impatience, many accidentally break the rhythm of a previously well-maintained run. Repeated experience teaches them to be calm and concentrate on each phase, rather than overthink the end goal. This is a pretty intriguing procedure, since the game tests not just reflexes but also your emotional control. The more stable mentally a player is the better he or she plays. That’s what makes every win in speedstars so real and unforgettable.
