When Mario Kart DS came out and people started playing online there was a huge discussion on whether snaking was cheating or not.

If you dont know what is snaking?

Snaking is to use the drifting, with the mini-turbo to snake around corners to gain speed and race faster. Though snaking also is abusing this and snaking wherever you can for a boost all over!.

Snaking or Drifting has been i mario kart for a long time, the drifting featured in Mario Kart 64, but with no speed boost! It wasnt untill MKDS that snaking became what it is. well the answer is online. Playing other people who snake was quite hard, and also the new ranking system. for the hardcore mk was not that much for the fun of it, but for the ranks and such. Loads of people find snakers to be some kinda cheaters exploiting the gameplay.

Technicly i know snaking isnt a cheat and I also use drifting alot. though the snakers are abusing the gameplay and makes it for some people less fun.

So in MK Wii. Drifting is a litle bit different. nerfed a bit maybe for the better and a nicer onlie experience !

keep on drifting!
