If PonyKart Had All-star Moves - Twilight

Now heres a concept that I wouldn't mind sharing involving PonyKart;

Sometime last year I think, our group was discussing how to make the item system work before we decided on the individual category pool, One of those ideas involved the characters to have specific abilities that they would obtain from the item barrels when in last place, pretty much identical to how the Sonic & All-stars Racing games did it.

In this case, when Twilight obtains it, she uses a powerful levitation magic to lift her vehicle and blast forward, bypassing racers in her way. She doesn't do damage to opponents, but is invulnerable to items & obstacles. As with all main characters, her all-star equivalent would be the most basic.

Ultimately the concept was dropped quickly in favour of the teleportation spell due to the programming difficulties & glitches it would no doubt create. We didn't try it exactly, but its something we won't be picking up on any time soon.

Though if we were to have a name for the ability (without thinking too much on it), the "Uber-boost" would be a good enough choice.

However, If you want to see what the other character's abilities could have been, favourite, leave a comment below, and I may do more like this.
