What truly makes the Jet Star unique is how its speed suddenly spikes whenever it goes airborne. Not only that, but the acceleration it gets from a perfect landing, as well as the rate it charges while airborne, is incredibly high. Surprisingly, it is actually below average in terms of actual glide distance, though ironically it is also the third-''highest'' glider in the entire game, outdone only by the [[Wheelie Scooter]] and the legendary [[Dragoon]]. It notably has a very low top speed of only 20.5 mph (32.99 km/h) while on the ground--the fourth-worst in the game (only to the [[Rocket Star]], the [[Compact Star]] and the [[Shadow Star]])--but this can usually be overcome with even the smallest of jumps. In most other areas, the Jet Star is relatively balanced, with some areas only slightly above or below the average. | What truly makes the Jet Star unique is how its speed suddenly spikes whenever it goes airborne.

These factors combined allow this machine to race relatively well well on any [[Air Ride]] course where gliding or jumping--even for short distances--is commonplace. It does, however, have significant trouble on the flat course that is [[Nebula Belt]]. In [[City Trial]], it can be very versatile, and has a decent chance in most of the city's [[Stadium]]s. Despite being a decent glider, the machine ironically has a tendency to do poorly on [[Target Flight]], as the Jet Star often propels through the air too quickly to properly aim. | |||
