That changes the [[User Interface|display]] into riding mode, and tilting the device will cause the handcar (and blockhead) to move toward the lowered end. The greater the tilt, the faster it goes. To stop, bring the device level relative to the display. | ||
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.

If in the air long enough, 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.
