Speed Stars guide

A Speed Stars guide is a stack of small skills, not a map of levels. The stores are clear about the input: two controls, and your timing decides the race. Everything past that — cadence, lean, hurdles, relay — comes from players and from portal writeups, so those sections say so.

A practical learning order is to start with the 100m controls, then work on rhythm before changing a custom build. The how-to-play guide covers the basics; run faster covers community timing advice.

Read them in this order

Steam’s own sentence is the best one-line tip: timing, rhythm, pacing, and composure. The App Store says the same thing with two fingers on the 100m. Neither page publishes a secret tech list. “Techs” in search results are community names for timing patterns, not official moves.

FAQ

Is there an official Speed Stars tutorial?

The stores describe two controls and name the races. They do not publish a step-by-step tutorial. The pages in this section separate store facts from community timing notes.

Where are the levels?

There are no levels or chapters. You pick a distance or event. “Unlock all chapters” on mod pages is the wrong noun for this game.
