well anyway....this is a strategy called "snaking" in mario kart DS. This term was coined by F-Zero GX players who exploited a glitch in the game in order to weave back and forth on the track to gain speed. The same thing can be done here - simply put, snaking is powersliding through straightaways. It takes a bit of time to master, but with time you'll be able to eventually be able to fly ahead of opponents. A nice diagram that I found on the gamefaqs message boards is shown below. It effectively explains how to snake. I'm not sure who created this, but if anybody knows, please email me so I can provide credit. |---------\------| |----------\-----| |-----------O----| <--- You mini turbo again, then drift the other way again |-----------O----| forming a snakelike pattern while moving extremely |-----------O----| quickly. This is repeated for the whole straightaway. |----------/-----| |---------/------| |--------/-------| |-------/--------| <--- You move to the other side, and drift |------/---------| the other way. |-----/----------| |----/-----------| |---/------------| |--O-------------| <--- You perform the boost, greatly |--O-------------| increasing your speed. |--O-------------| |---\------------| |----\-----------| <--- You drift to the right, and begin doing a |-----\----------| mini-turbo. |------\---------| |-------|--------| <--- You come in to the straightaway and |-------|--------| begin to turn left. |-------|--------| |-------|--------| Snaking is considered to be cheating by a select few, but it has been confirmed by Nintendo that it is completely legit and was intentionally incorporated into the game, therefore you won't get very far in an argument about it. this takes a LOT of practice though. (i'm still trying to master it XD) but all the pros that i've faced on wi-fi do it, so it works. the best course to snake on seems to be figure-8 circuit. the begining of delfino square is good too. (wait, u guys know how to do mini-turbos....right? :|) |
