This guide is designed to help people snake. Snaking is a technique to gain speed on straights using miniturbos.
1. VERSIONS
Version 1 (3/12/2009) Guide finished, basically.
2 SUITABLE KARTS
You want a kart with reasonable acceleration and handling. Some of my picks are:
Egg 1/Standard YS/Cucumber*
Dry Bomber, Standard DB
ROB-BLS**
*I find the Cucumber to be difficult cause of length, but it�s fine.
**This may shock you, but it has good handling and acc.
TIP: You can use any character in any suitable kart, so pick your favorite character in a light kart or ROB-BLS.
3. BASICS (Skip if you know how to do miniturbos reliably)
Once you�ve picked a suitable kart, then you need to start by doing miniturbos. A miniturbo is done byn holding R and pressing left, right, left, right until orange sparks come out of the tires, then release R to gain some speed temporarily. TIP: Put your thumb in middle of d-pad and rock left and right very fast for faster charge.
4. HOW TO SNAKE
Then start miniturbos on straights, first do one left, then right, etc. until the straight is complete. Very simple after miniturbos, except on rainbow road =)
Next, combine multiple miniturbos on turns with snaking for ultrafast lap times. You will get fast times as low as 1. 34 (TOTAL, set by me)
5. SUITABLE TRACKS
Some tracks may not be included, these are ones that anyone can snake on (SUITABLE) and I cannot snake on (NOT SUITABLE)
