Pads (Flash Cat)

Pads are interactive objects in Flash Cat. They are found placed on the Track and give a boost to the Flash Cat when gone over. Often, they are required to go over to progress through the level, but sometimes in Flash Cat they are optional, optional ones often leading to point filled areas, the Track which these are found somehow connected to the main track. Two types of Pads exist: Turbo Pads and Boost Pads.

Turbo Pads
Turbo Pads are often encountered pads in Flash Cat. They appear as a orange circle on the track emitting an orange light. When gone over, the player receives a large boost of speed, but not as much as that given by the Turbo Powerup.

Many Turbo Pads are often found in a line, so the player can quickly increase there speed by going over them. It is suggested to try to hit as much Turbo Pads as possible, as this can make getting to the End Circle easier.

Boost Pads
Boost Pads are a type of Pad found in Flash Cat. Boost Pads appear as a purple bump with blue arrows pointing diagonally up. When gone over, the Flash Cat will be boosted into the air, much higher than if he jumped. They are always found on the edges of platforms, and are necessary to get to the next part of the track. Speed also effectd whether the player will land safely, as if the player has to little speed, they will miss the platform.

Speed can be increased by going over Turbo Pads, and sometimes the player is given a Turbo Powerup to use and instructed by signs to use it before going over the Boost Pad, this Powerup necessary to get to the next pad, if used properly.
