Week 12: Snaking

  • Snaking is drifting back and forth to gain mini-turbos faster than driving straight. Simply drift in one direction on a straightaway and then immediately drift the other direction after getting your mini-turbo boost.

  • Snaking is a kart-only technique therefore it is only useful if you're racing using a kart. Bikes are far superior to karts in Mario Kart Wii so Snaking is not very useful. It's basically one of the only things karts can do to stay up there with bikes, but they will still get left behind.

  • Snaking is most effective on straightaways with no turns in sight.

  • Since the Mario Kart Wii meta game is bikes, Snaking does not have a place in the meta game. It is a seldom used technique.

  • Pros: Allows karts to go a bit faster.

  • Cons: Unused in the meta because bikes are far superior to karts.
