Serious Discussion here. Now they did comfirm back then that they took out snaking due to people abusing it. However, they didn't take it out completely...they just made it so that it takes longer to drift, therefore making snaking much more difficult. However from what I tried, snaking IS possible. I tried it while I was practicing and it is possible. But it is harder to do this.
| IGN Guide wrote: | IS SNAKING POSSIBLE? Well, kinda. Yes, it is, but it is harder. As getting
mini-turbos takes longer than before, you cannot really snake from left to
right. On wide tracks you can, but most of the time you cannot. However as I
am a proficient semi-snaker, I can perform semi-snaking in Mario Kart Wii -
I can take a corner, exit it and do another boost before going straight
proper. I'm sure depending on the correct kart and character combination
you can snake, but for all intents and purposes, snaking is reduced, but
possible.
ERM, WHAT IS SNAKING? A very advanced technique, you perform mini-turbo over
and over again in a snake like fashion. So say you are on a straight, and you
are on the left; drift to the right, and boost ahead so you're on the right.
Now drift to the left and boost so you end up on the left. Keep repeating
this to create a snake like movement down the track, giving you a huge
advantage if done correctly.
SHOULD I BOTHER PRACTISING? Yes. There is great debate since Mario Kart DS
on whether snaking is 'cheating', but personally I disagree, and consider
snaking is not as effective this time, it is worth trying. It makes single
player easier, and if you even considering to get winning in the long term
online, it is what the professionals use. Use Time Trial as a place of
practice! |
now there is something to worry about, there WILL be pros who will take advantage of this technique, which will be unfair for most of us.
WE'RE ALL DOOM D: don't worry, i dont' snake and most of us here don't even like snaking.
Now I ask you digibutter, what do YOU think of snaking? cheating? good? Are you sad that its still in? Personally, I kinda am. |

I think snaking should count as cheating, and I don't like people who abuse snaking. |

Snaking is the same thing as ramming into the walls after turning in the opposite direction. It's stupid, and doesn't work. >__.; |

I hated it in MKDS... it ruined the online for me on the few chances I had to play it. |
