'''Boosting''' is a term used in [[GoldenEye 007]] to describe when an enemy shoots you, causing you to "boost" in the opposite direction in which you were shot, or a nearby explosive has the same effect. Many GoldenEye WRs require a decent number of boosts (of both types) at certain points during the run.
When an enemy hits you head-on, it's called a backboost. This is called a backboost because it impeeds your forward progress, usually costing 1-2 seconds.
Boosting still exists as a phenomenon but is not as significant a factor in [[Perfect Dark]], as they don't knock you very hard. Boosting is almost never relied upon as part of the strategy for PD levels, the exceptions being the [[Skedar Jump]] and the entirety of [[War]] Agent.
