Boosts

Boosts are power-ups available for purchase using coins or can be earned for free from completing achievements or events. They are being offered before the player starts the game, however boosts can be used only for one run. Since the first release of Cookie Run, the list of boosts and their purchasing cost has never changed, with the exception of Random Boost where "Rescues from holes twice" was added later in Season 3 - Edge of the World.

When you have earned boosts for free from completing achievements or events, they cannot be used except the player has tapped the boost to mark the usage of boost. When Energy Boost, Power Jellies Boost, and Double XP are marked, they will be activated automatically. In other way, Fast Start and Cookie Relay requires the player to once again tap the button in the middle of the screen so they will work.

Boosts are often used as a mission, challenge, or event reward. The reward might possibly gives one specific kind of boost, or a Boost Set which contains all boosts (excluding Random Boost) each given one. Since the beginning of June 2015, a recurring event called Wednesday Boost Day will allow players to use boosts for free during a limited hours only.

List of Boosts
In addition to the boosts preselected in the game, there is one more hidden boost. When the cookie falls into a hole and cannot be lifted, a pop-up screen will offer to continue the game by paying 5 and the cookie will be lifted with the same energy amount when the cookie falls down. However, this kind of boost will not appear every time.
