* ThemeNaming: Every weapon in Booster's arsenal is related to vehicle lingo. Hats off go to the Jack Knife, which is a triple pun; referring to a type of knife, since it's a blade, a car jack, which it partially resembles, and jackknifing, which is when a segmented vehicle such as a truck folds in on itself in a way resembling the aforementioned knife.

Unlike his previous mods, which took inspiration from genres as a whole, ''Highway Acceleroid Booster'' takes inspiration from a specific franchise: ''Franchise/{{MegaMan}}'', or more precisely, [[VideoGame/MegaManX the X subseries]].

In it, you play as Booster, a female reploid modeled after a sports car. Befitting her visual motif forms the main draw of the mod: an incredibly versatile movement system, allowing for [[VideoGameDashing dashing, air dashing]], {{Double Jump}}ing, [[WallCrawl wall grabbing]], and {{Rocket Jump}}ing (multiple times in the air, even). Naturally, it wouldn't be a ''Doom'' mod without new weapons, and Booster gets an appropriately ''Mega Man''-style arsenal of toys to play around with.

* SequenceBreaking: Booster's incredibly powerful movement tools can snap in two the normal progression of pretty much any map she'd put in. In the mod's forum post, Terminus implies that [[AuthorAppeal his love of fast movement]] [[SelfDeprecation is a reason he doesn't have many mapper friends]].
