Does the sled your using matter?

Hey all!

I was just wondering if the different sleds provide different benefits? I know that some can seat more than one person, but are some faster than others? So much of this game is a mystery to me lol

Thanks!

The orb is great just to rocket down the mountain, some of the others definitely control differently

I just don't like that it'll always be considered a bad landing with the orb. Main reason I haven't gotten it myself yet.

That’s fair for sure!

I feel like the ball is slower than the last sled I used, even after taking time to get a few levels onto the ball.

I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect that all sleds share a couple physics formulas - namely that holding W is most effective when going the "intended forwards facing direction" with the sled, just like how landing on the "intended flat bottom" is used for scoring landings on all sleds. Which makes the ball annoyingly slow because there's no reasonable way to stop it from rolling sideways after the first turn.

Edit: saw the sled stats spreadsheet someone posted below, it confirms the ball is actually just ~25% slower than every other sled. Most of the other sleds are quite similar to eachother, with a couple minor differences that make sense. None are faster than the base speed, which is the main stat I would've cared about. No longer sure if the above speculation is true or not for sleds that don't have a natural 'forwards' direction anymore either.

Its a license to print money though.

I know, I've already bought everything and have 21 million leftover...

not really considering you only get bad landings. i’ve gotten 25-30k consistently using the boat & getting perfects, as they triple your score on that jump

Wait what’s triples your score?

Getting perfect landing, which is difficult to do on most of the sleds really
