'''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.

Many GoldenEye WRs require a decent number of boosts (of both types) at certain points during the run. You can also boost yourself in some levels, using Grenades, Mines, Grenade Launchers, or Rocket Launchers. Self-boosting does not save as much time as the optimal boost by an enemy, but it is still a very important method for getting better times. For more in-depth strategic uses of boosts, see [[Use of Boosts in Goldeneye]].
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.
