Special Properties
The Rumbler's boost power-ups are replaced by its unique variant, aptly named the "Super Boost", with significant differences compared to the normal Boost.
While not mentioned, the first power-up picked up after spawn is always the super boost.
The ability cannot be used in Blitz Mode as Super Boost never appears.
Strategies
Rumbler is not a formidable vehicle on its own, as its stats, while generally above average and acceptable for being an Epic Vehicle, is somewhat unsatisfactory, as it is still unable to outrun opponents with ease. Players may find it almost impossible for this vehicle to quickly respond against attackers under normal circumstances, as its handling is generally worse than expected.
However, Super Boost neutralizes Rumbler's disadvantages. Although handling is greatly penalized and the vehicle itself becomes uncontrollable, thus increasing the difficulty of collecting crowns, the doom it unleashes upon other vehicles will have equally extreme impact. Super Boost's damage is quite significant to all vehicles, hitting for 2+ damage each time it connects. With the opponents being already in melee range, rapid hits can occur and potentially destroy the opponent instantly. Even if not, it will disorient the opponent, and likely push them into other threats such as water zones, Landmines, Explosive Barrels, or even another vehicle that's lucky enough not to be caught in the frenzy. The extended invincibility is a nice addition, which makes almost all types of resistance completely futile.
Pay extra attention to the nearby vehicles. There could be easy prey, or the Shadow lurking around to ruin all the fun.
