The Dash Engine is an upgrade for the ZERO-ONE. When installed, the Dash Engine will give the ZERO-ONE the ability to accelerate by holding the R button of the Nintendo 64 controller. Professor Oak will provide this to Todd after he snaps a photo of one of the six Pokémon Signs.

The Dash Engine greatly increases the control of the ZERO-ONE. While it does not allow it to go backwards, and the ZERO-ONE will still only stop when a Pokémon is in its way, the Dash Engine will speed up immediately, allow it to travel at an increased speed for an indefinite period of time, and return the ZERO-ONE to its normal speed as soon as the R button is released.

Though it does not allow any direct interaction with the wild Pokémon like the Pokémon Food, Pester Balls and Poké Flute, it is still useful for positioning the ZERO-ONE in a desireable spot to take pictures and for moving quickly to an area of interest on a course.
