Dead Turtle

From Trackmania Wiki

Dead Turtle is when the car is 180 degress upside down and cannot gain grip or move. When you dead turtle, the only thing you can do is respawn, since your car can't move, or pray for that default movement will lead you to the finish, or an object that can get you grip again. This is where the term "dead" comes from. It is the opposite of turtling. Every car can dead turtle and Stadium car is the only car that can turtle to unturtle.

Water in Trackmania 2020 can unturtle the Stadium, Snow, Rally and Desert cars. However, water in TMNF and TMUF cannot unturtle any cars.

Methods of unturtling with Stadium car include:

  • Turtling into a wall (common in trials)
  • Leaving the ground so that the car rotates or bounces into an unturtled position
  • Making the car wobble a lot and steering in a direction to make the car flip over (difficult)
