Mad Skills Motocross 2 Walkthrough [Guide]

If you would like to try your hand at the exciting world of motocross, but find the risk of having broken necks none too appealing, then Mad Skills Motocross 2 might just be the better alternative. Developed in the spirit of motorbike racing games like Excite Bike, Mad Skills Motocross will have players racing both against time and against their opponent as they compete across challenging tracks in the quest for victory. Here’s our guide for this very exhilarating game that you can play with absolutely no risk to life and limb.

Gameplay
Mad Skills Motocross 2 is a motorbike racing simulation game where players must go through different stages of one on one races against the computer or another human player. Advancing means gaining access to better bikes, although good balance and control over your vehicle are more important than this. Being able to properly maintain speed is also very important especially during jumps and when landing on either side of hills. With this, players must also try and replay stages in order to refine their technique and learn how to better ride their bikes in order to beat their opponents as well as record the best times.

Controls
Controls within the game are pretty simple. There’s an acceleration button as well as a brake button, but the latter would be seldom used unless you would like to slow down in order to avoid a crash. Players can also use the left and right buttons in order to balance themselves midflight so that they will have smooth landings, as well as to make back and front flips in mid-air. However, this can result in lost of speed as well a risk of crash landing, so do this only when you have a distinct lead over your opponent and if you are confident in your skills.

Players may also do wheelies, which would provide them with a slight increase in speed, but also at a risk of toppling over and costing precious distance between you and your opponent.

Game Modes
Under single player campaigns, players would be able to go through different stages, although future stages must be unlocked by winning the current level. There are also certain stages that can only be unlocked by completing requirements within the rounds of that particular tier. In these stages, players can win one of two achievements, namely beating the opponent and getting the ace for the round. Most of the time, attaining the latter cannot be done by achieving the latter, and aces are also the main requirement for bonus stages opening up.

Players can also participate in head to head battles with other players for the purpose of achieving racing glory against the top racers of the world.

Bikes
Different bikes may be unlocked by meeting certain requirements in Campaign Mode. Each subsequent bike will perform better than the one before it, and players will have the choice to equip any bike that they have already unlocked. Should the players find it hard to unlock a specific bike, they also have the option to manually unlock it via an in-app purchase.

Rockets
Rockets serve as boosts that will provide players with an increase in speed for a limited period of time. The purchase of rockets will require real money, and oftentimes these items would not be useful especially when there are many hills within the course. The best time to use rockets is when ascending high hills or when there is a continuous level terrain in front of you. Of course, the use of rockets is completely optional and is often a form of last resort especially if on the tail end of the race.

Customizations
Players would also be able to customize their bikes in order to give them a more personal look and feel. They can change the color of their bikes as well as of their rider, although in-app purchases would be required so that other colors may be unlocked. Otherwise, only basic colors would be available. Also, additional charges would also be incurred if you would like to add your number to the side of your book. All of these are completely optional and would not alter or improve the performance of your bike in any way.

Tips and Tricks
Balance is of utmost importance when playing Mad Skills Motocross 2. When jumping, make sure that you land level to the surface in order to not lose speed and to avoid crashes. Doing flips in mid air may be cool, but these would not rack you additional points and would only serve as displays of grandeur. Minimize doing tricks and focus more on not losing acceleration so that you would be able to get best times.

Also, it would be much better to stop pressing the speed button rather than pressing on the brakes. Speed is essential in this game, especially when you are trying to climb over steep hills. When encountering such terrain, make it a point to have the highest speed possible or, if the situation allow for it, simply jump over hills to avoid losing any speed.

Lastly, make sure to return to previously completed levels if you have not aced it yet. This will give you a better chance of unlocking bonus stages that will feature tougher challenges. Don’t spend your hard earned money on bikes that you haven’t unlocked yet or rockets, as all rounds are beatable given whatever reasons that you may already have.
