I don't know what snaking is either, but once I get MKDS, I plan on learning how. If you don't have to use a code or anything like that, then it ISN'T cheating. So count me in on learning how to use it and use it once I do learn it.

there are specific things you need to know before you do it, but you should seriously not snake. Wifi races are really getting unfair and less fun for some ppl who dont want to snake

there are some people, like me, that already know how to snake but choose not to online because we know that it's unfair. But once someone starts to snake, then you could snake. but don't even try at all.

Fine I'll tell you

First you hold down A and B then pull down on the right trigger button, if you do it fast enough you'll get a small but significant speed boost. And thats snaking.

A snaker takes advantage of the turbo-boost you get from drifting for a certain period of time.  Instead of using it at every sharp turn, they use the technique on straight paths as well, giving them quite an edge in WiFi matches by taking the lead by a long shot.  As to how to do it, I'm scared of posting it, I'll probably get flamed anyway ^^.  Besides, despite me knowing how to snake and dodge spiked blue shells, I'd rather be fair to those who can't do the snaking trick and just race the good old fashioned way : relying on the item boxes and your ability to race.

HelloJon

huh? LOL that's not snaking. you would come to a complete stop with these directions LMAO.

snaking is using power boost but constantly doing it. almost nonstop. i never actually asked somebody if this is the right way.

Snaking is the way of the Devil.

If you do it, God will kill all your kittens, puppies and then smite yo @ss.

whats so bad about snaking?

i know how to do it but i barely ever use it. i'm too lazy to. 

but still, whats so bad about it. isn't snaking skills? cos when i was first teaching myself how to snake, i found it incredibly difficult.

its like playing mario kart for the first time. if you immedietely just go 150cc, usually its incredibly hard to handle the kart. and it was the same with snaking. when you get better, you start winning in 150 cc. as you get better at snaking, you can do it without screwing up badly and losing the race.

its like swimming. if it was a race where you could use ANY stroke. would it be cheating if some one didn't know how to do freestyle and swam with breast stroke and someone beat them with freestyle. or if someone knew how to do freestyle but just didn't use it and lost to someone using freestyle. would you call it cheating then?

Dudes Snaking isn't bad/cheating, if you can't do it then learn how. Its a legit way to go faster and it is a racing game. Jeez that like Playing Halo 2 and telling everbody not to do headshots.

I was actually just trying to get a reaction out of you. The bottom line is if god and mario are killing kittens and puppies, thats their problem, not mine. I will be snaking once I get MKDS.

i'm with you man, too lazy to snake. i admit i try to use in in 1P to clear challenges, but it's way to much work to do it all the time especially in multiplayer. i'd rather race normal and have a close one where almost anyone can win and it comes down to items and flat out racing.

as for what's wrong with it, nothing in particular, just feels cheap to most people because it seems like the developers didn't really intend for it to be done that way. "it's not how you play the game". i understand.

i like the snake free matches cuz i can relax and just race instead of giving myself blisters and carpal tunnel.
