Whats up everyone! Today, I will start a new journey of sharing with you all of the tips and tricks in making your MoonKarts experience more fun and "smart". This will help you speed up your journey/process of mastering everything in the game.
Racing is the first priority, the fastest one to finish the laps gives you 20 ranking pts + Colony rewards. But right now, our focus is maximize your earnings by getting all possible runes/orbs in the map. But before that, you need to take these considerations:
- There are only 6 orbitals in the map, and you only need to take 3 of them. If you take 1 or 2, you'll get no orbital points after the match. Getting >3 is useless.
- The amount of Colony orbs you can take depends on your Trunkfill which also depends on the quality of Kart you are using. I'll also share another #tip post on this.
Maximum # of Colony Runes per Map
Each map gives maximum number of Colony runes so it is important to know how many colony runes exists per map. In the case of orbitals, it is always a maximum of six. I will share with you per detail the location of these:
First Map
Sometimes I call this as the "Brown map"
#
This map is the 2nd longest map (among the 3). The first set of Colony runes are placed there. There are three colony runes. If you get the three of them in the first lap, it will respawn another three Colony when you come back. Here's a closer look:

#
The next set of runes will be orbital runes, which is located just a few meters away from that first Colony runes. Remember you only need to get
3 orbital runes to maximize rewards. No need to get greater than 3, so if you get the first set of orbitals, make sure to not get the second set!
It only takes a few drifts (space bar) to get into there. Another technique is to make sure just to follow that white line.
The next set of Colony tokens will be in this ascending curve road. It is located at the end of the curve. Make sure to stay at the left side of the road and follow the white line.

#
Drifting should be like this to make sure you are on track to get the Colony tokens.

#
Once you are near the end of the curve road, you'll notice these three Colony runes. Again, it will be difficult to get these Colony runes if you don't use drift (spare bar) and stay close to the left lane. Once you get near the Colony runes, you need a full drift (space bar) and maintain that until you get to the runes. Believe me, it will help!
#
The next set should be just within the distance. Once you are over that curve road, now driving on a straight line. You will notice you need to drift again to the right, that will indicate you will get another set of
Orbital runes. Now remember, you don't need to get these once you get the first set but this is very important especially when the other players took the first set, or perhaps you still didn't complete the 3 orbital runes.

#
So when you drift to the right, within a few meters you will see 3 orbital runes. It needs a drift too but all you need to do is just to follow the white line. It will serve as a guide for you to get the orbital runes.

#
This is where the location of the 2nd set of orbital runes.
Again, the number of Colony runes you can get depends on the quality of your Kart and its parts - it is called "Trunk fill" - the maximum amount of orbs/runes you can get per match.
Once you go to the 2nd lap, you will notice a new set of Colony tokens will respawn if you got them in the first lap. If there's none, the other player has taken it for sure.
Hope this guide helped you. This is one of the three maps I will be sharing, this one is 1/3 of our MoonKarts Tip #1 - a series of tips until you master the game.
