I personally hated snaking. Not only was it cheap when racing against people that don’t know how to do it, it also took a lot of the fun out of the game. Moving the control stick from left to right the whole time is entertaining for only so long… Not to mention snaking totally killed MK DS’ online multiplayer.

hmm i never “snaked” on a straight road but i had my double dash skidding down perfect.

So how do you do the power slide without waggling left to right ?

I still think there will be enough skill involved in sliding.

I never bothered much with snaking, it just became too hectic. Mario Kart is all about the items, and driving as best as you can manage. Having the snaking part of it removed is nice because newcomers will at least be able to compete on-line.

Just curious, anybody disappointed that “Snaking” is removed? I mean it has existed in Mario Kart since the 64 days.

Also, like Christian said, I’m not good at it either. Being that you have to be that damn good at Mario Kart to “Snake” on command, removing the “Snaking” won’t prevent these cart gurus from owning us all.
