Powerdowns for derby

just what it says on the tin
should appear more often than the powerups (or the game could randomly apply one to a player), but instead of making some sort of cool thing, it applies some negative effect to you.
when the powerdown duration ends (and you manage to survive) everything reverts back to normal

-fragility
makes you way more vulnerable to damage, also as a visual thing it swaps your car’s body panel material to something translucent like glass.

-“oops, someone’s messed with your controls!”
this thing can either:

  1. invert steering
  2. invert gas/brake
  3. switch gas/brake and steering around (WS for steering and AD for moving forward/backward), should be rarer than the others and give you a badge the first time you’re (un)lucky enough to get it

-“oops, no grip!”
lowers your grip to “worse than driving on ice with drift tires on” levels

-POWERRRRRR
ever brought the bloodhound to the dirt track? well that’s how it feels
lots of power, horrible turning radius, constant wheelies are optional

-“oops, no brakes!”
the S key does nothing, sorry :troll:
unfortunately your gas pedal is stuck as well, hope you like walls

-“oops, no controls!”
probably the worst one, you just completely lose control for a couple of seconds. no steering, no brakes, no acceleration.
enough to roll off a cliff

-“oops, no collision!”
makes every single opponent phase through you
might be a saving grace at times, but mostly it’ll just screw up your KO streak

Love the idea, I think inplementing most of this for mobile would be a bit tricky tho, but idk what the cc2 chassis’ look like script-wise, so I couldn’t say exactly.

what happens if you gain collision while you’re inside someone’s car.
