The speed of a rail handcar is faster than a [[Steam Locomotive|steam locomotive]] when it is traveling downhill or on flat ground. When traveling uphill, the player slows down, and if they slow down too much, Blockheads will roll back downhill. | The speed of a rail handcar is faster than a [[Steam Locomotive|steam locomotive]] when it is traveling downhill or on flat ground.

As rail handcars can leave their rails, it is possible for a handcar to leave the ground. If | As rail handcars can leave their rails, it is possible for a handcar to leave the ground. If it travels 30 or more blocks, upon landing it will display the number of blocks traveled in the air. However, if a handcar crashes into a solid [[block]] at a high enough speed, the riding blockhead will lose [[Health Bar|health]]. Even running off the end of a rail fast enough will cause injuries. | ||
While a handcars can be used in only two blocks of vertical [[Air|space]], three are recommended, particularly around changes in elevation. Insufficient height will cause a blockhead to collide with an overhead block, knocking it off the handcar and the handcar off the rails. | While a handcars can be used in only two blocks of vertical [[Air|space]], three are recommended, particularly around changes in elevation.

If a handcar is ridden with enough speed and there is enough open space, a blockhead can use an up-slope to launch themselves through the air. The distance jumped will be reported at the top of the screen. Jumping 30 or more blocks distance will earn the player the [[achievement]] "[[Airtime]]." | If a handcar is ridden with enough speed and there is enough open space, a blockhead can use an up-slope to launch themselves through the air.

==Notes== | |||
Unlike other rail carriages such as the [[Passenger Car]], the handcar cannot be coupled, making it useful for solo transportation but not for grouped transportation. | |||
