Subway Surfers is a super fun game, but sometimes you just want a little boost to get a higher score. That's where the Headstart comes in! It's a power-up that gives you a head start at the beginning of your run, letting you zoom past those early obstacles. This will help you get a higher score and collect more coins.

So, how do you use a Headstart in Subway Surfers? It’s actually very simple. Before you start your run, you’ll see a lightning bolt icon. Just tap on that, and you're good to go! You'll start the game flying through the air, avoiding all the trains and barriers on the ground.

How to Get Headstarts

There are a few ways to get Headstarts in Subway Surfers:

• Buying them: You can buy Headstarts in the in-game shop using coins that you’ve collected.
• Completing missions: Sometimes, you'll get Headstarts as a reward for completing missions. I remember once I was so close to finishing a mission, and the reward was a bunch of Headstarts. I played for another hour just to get them!
• Opening Mystery Boxes: You can also find Headstarts in Mystery Boxes, which you can get by collecting them during your runs or buying them in the shop.

Tips for Using Headstarts

Headstarts are great, but you need to use them wisely. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of them:

• Use them when you have a Score Booster: If you have a Score Booster, use a Headstart at the same time. This will give you a massive score boost right from the beginning of your run.
• Save them for when you need them: Don't use a Headstart every time you play. Save them for when you're trying to beat your high score or complete a difficult mission. I once wasted a bunch of Headstarts trying to show off to a friend, and then I didn't have any when I actually needed them for a mission. I learned my lesson after that!
• Combine with other power-ups: You can combine Headstarts with other power-ups like the Jetpack or Super Sneakers to get even further in your run.
