Jamaa Derby

The Jamaa Derby is a horse racing game. Members can use their own Horses, but those without a horse, or non-members, use a brown or tan horse of varying shades. non-members can still play, though, as the race is not limited to Members. It can be found in Jamaa Township, Sol Arcade, and the Horses Only Party. There is a 'pro' version.

Controls
You click or press space to jump, and there are three carrots, that you click to give you speed boosts.

Like Falling Phantoms, computer players will automatically join if it takes too long for actual players to join. Its quite easy to distinguish these computer players because if there are more than 2 slots open for computer players, they will all instantly join at the same time. In addition, computer players have no fashion sense and wear random assorted gear and colours, randomly use emotes while in the middle of the race, and will randomly use their boosts instead of formulating a strategy.

Benefits of Winning
The winner earns 100 gems. There is also a trophy and blue ribbon that floats near your avatar after you win it. Sometimes, players can tie for first place. If you won 10 races or more, you can play professional.

If you play in "Pro" mode, the winners increase to 150 gems for first place.

Pro
If you get the Stallion achievement by winning 10 times, you will unlock pro. The only differences are: Grey selection and the bottom, harder, and more obstacles in between. You are also paid more gems when in a high rank. Strategies. 1. Use your carrots early. Some use up their carrots early, but others close in from behind and sneak up on the others.

2. A good strategy is to use carrots whenever you get caught in a obstacle, but if there's a long straight area, you might want to take advantage of your carrots because there are no obstacles to slow you down

3. Another good tip to keep in mind, is to use a maximum of 2 carrots, and use your final carrot near the end of the race when theres a opponent in front of you to catch them by surprise.

4. Use a carrot in a obstacle so you don't loose as much ground.

5. Use the space bar to jump and use your mouse to click the carrots.

6. Save all carrots until the middle. Make sure you jump over each and every obstacle.

7. Use all carrots when you see the longest obstacles coming up.

In conclusion, after the race, the horses dance with their normal "dance" animation.
