Pro Tips to Get High Score

•  Always prioritize jumping over rolling because jumping lets you collect more coins at the same time 

•  Activate hoverboard early in difficult sections which will enable you to survive through tight obstacle clusters 

•  Chase mission objectives deliberately because permanent score multipliers matter more than single run coins 

•  Collect Word Hunt letters every single day for 5 consecutive days which will enable you to earn Super Mystery Box 

•  Upgrade Coin Magnet power up first because maximum magnet range earns far more coins per run 

•  Save keys for hoverboard power unlocks rather than spending them on continues after a crash 

•  Use 2x Score Multiplier right after activating a mission multiplier which will enable you to stack bonuses 

•  Stay in the center lane as default position which will enable you to react to both sides instantly
