Headstart (previously known as Mega Headstart) is the upgraded version of the old Headstart power-up. The power-up will let the player zoom through the sky a tad longer than the normal headstart available on early editions of the game. Players can buy them at the shop for 2,000.
Trivia
It used to be able to be used to perform a glitch known as "Backward Running".
The Headstart, the Score Booster, and the old Headstart are the only power-ups in the game that can be used at the start of the game just by tapping them once.
The hoverboard is also usable at the start of the game but requires the player to tap on the screen twice.
Unlike the Jetpack, using it to zoom through the sky won't let the players collect any coins.
Their character's running speed will also be maintained after landing.
The Headstart icon has 3 arrows while the old Headstart icon had 2 arrows.
changed the appearance of the Mega Headstart. It also allowed players to use it 3 times.
Using it along with the Score Booster can complete missions such as Coin Counter, etc.
It is the only way to get power-ups without completing the Word Hunt.
In 3.0.1 it was updated to emit red and yellow smoke with a new appearance of a yellow and red Jetpack.
It and the Jetpack are the only power-ups to change from the appearance or a part of the item.
Sometimes there will be an event where you can get 20 headstarts by watching 10 ads.
Like the Jetpack, if you equip a Speed Up hoverboard just as you're about to equip a headstart, you will go faster.
