I could make a million dollars every time a game-changing mechanic is introduced and people just complain about it without giving it a chance. And while I understand that people have their likes and dislikes, at least give things like this a chance. You see, Need for Speed Unbound has been released and one of its main changes has to do with the graphics. While the cars and environment are hyper-realistic, the characters and effects are done in a cartoonish aesthetic. I personally like this implementation and will try it whenever I can. After all, while racing games aren't necessarily my thing, I believe some experimentation is necessary. An example could be the Hot Wheels Forza Horizon 5 DLC. But anyway, here's how to get wings in Need for Speed Unbound, one of the several cartoonish effects present in the game.

No, you don't need to drink any kind of drink or be a mutant from the Marvel Universe. You see, the mix between hyper-realistic and cartoonish aesthetics promises a unique experience for the new Need for Speed game. And while you can certainly disable these effects for more, shall we say, realistic and visually appealing gameplay, these effects can bring a certain sparkle and shine to a franchise that has released 25 games to date.

If you choose to keep these effects, you will be greeted with several eye candy that, for some, will be very attractive. One of these effects is the wings, which will appear whenever you are in the middle of a jump. Catching wind will bring wings. You don't need to do anything else to make them appear or unlock them. And while it doesn't provide a certain boost or make you slide like in Mario Kart 8, it sure looks great, at least in my opinion.

So make sure you don't fly with your effect wings like a motorized penguin and make sure you win these races and show off your cartoon effects like there's no tomorrow. And if people criticize you for using the effects, too bad, the loss of them.
