Unlike most other machines, the Bulk Star requires charge to accelerate and maintain speed, functioning as the machine's fuel. If the charge runs completely out, then it will come to a dead stop until more is built up. The [[Hydra]], one of the two legendary machines in the game, has a similar mechanic of using charge as fuel. | Unlike most other machines, the Bulk Star requires charge to accelerate and maintain speed, functioning as the machine's fuel.

However, its gliding is very poor, and it cannot [[Boost]] well as charging works almost completely for fueling. This machine actually has a top speed of 39.15 mph (63.00 km/h), one of the highest of all machines, but it can rarely maintain that speed due to the constant need to slow down and recharge. | ||
A strange characteristic of this machine is that on many terrains which cause other machines to decelerate slightly, such as magma, this vehicle actually accelerates. In addition, this machine can reach the speed cap in the game (124.86 mph or 200.95 km/h, also the Hydra's top speed) and glide almost endlessly by pressing A in a particular rhythm, possible due to a glitch. | |||
Due to its constant need to recharge, this machine is relatively poor for racing, especially for those who are not accustomed to maintaining its fuel. However, its incredible durability and offensive stats make it one of the best in the more battle-centric [[Stadium]]s of [[City Trial]], particularly [[Destruction Derby]]. | Due to its constant need to recharge, this machine is relatively poor for racing, especially for those who are not accustomed to maintaining its fuel.
