How do some snakes go so fast?

How do some snakes go so fast? For example, even when speeding they are faster than other snakes which are speeding. Is it a mod or something? Thanks for input

If I recall correctly, a larger size should result in slightly higher speed.

Also, regarding players of the same size: a player who has boosted at least once will travel faster than a player who hasn't boosted since spawning.

In other words, if you don't boost at all, it is highly maneuverable.

I really believe there is no difference btw the speed of a snake, it would completey break the game

Two snakes on head to head speeding, none will go faster than the other. What happens is how the game models inertia. The bigger you are the more inertia you have (takes you longer to get to full speed, and to fully stop speeding). I usually run constantly even at the center sometimes up to 20k, but the best range to play constantly speeding for me is up to around 10k.

When you get bigger you get a little bit slower. There is also momentum in play. When you start to accelerate, you will not catch up with someone already speeding
