People doing it on straightaways are where most of the problems lie. I don't think anyone has a problem with people getting multiple boosts around long-ass turns.The Faceless Master said:

is it ok to start the snaking motion before the turn if you only actually boost into the turn, or should you wait until you hit the turn to start snaking?Green Shinobi said:
also, should you finish snaking so that you are no longer boosting before the turn ends, or is it ok to snake when you know the boost will still be active outside of the turn, or can you continue to complete a snaking motion outside of a turn if you started while still in the turn?
finally, does it count as a turn if you are on a straightaway with a huge obstacle in the path that you would have to steer around to get around?
As much as i loved the franchise (with 64's multiplayer above all), i'm completely sick of it... Don't really know what happened -i LOVED the DS version!- but i'm just not feeling it anymore. 
And a big MEH to snaking, it's something i refuse to learn because i think it ruins the whole balancing of the game.
About the controls à la Excite Truck (awesome, awesome game!), they have to be a little different since the fugly driving wheel they showed at E3 had the Wiimote placed with the buttons IN FRONT of the player and not facing up.

Apparently the "confirmations" were all speculation?

It was the worst thing about 2005.
WTF at it not being a horrible glitch exclusive to MKS and it being a recurring feature??

Why do people keep disparaging Mario Kart DS for introducing snaking? The power slide boost was a part of the gameplay since Mario Kart 64.
Using them strategically to increase your odds of victory is a legitimate tactic.

It's like being punched in the nuts then having a beautiful women rub your sore nuts in that order.

It's because it's the first online version of the game.
The majority don't snake/don't want to snake ..but if you want to play online you're forced to. If you don't like snaking then the online portion of the game is useless. With the offline games you could play how you want to..with online you have no choice.
I'm happy to do the boost on corners but I don't want to be going left and right all over the road on straights....it's just stupid IMO.
Personally I always prefered the SNES/GBA games with the speed-up coins and I was hoping they would return to that method of play. I always felt they were the superior games.
Taker666 said:
You might be right and the kart handled better because it was weighted down with coins, I always liked that.
It is simple to fix even after release, just creat another online mode that doesnt have mini-turbos and implements the coins. It could be a small compulsory download patch to the game if it isnt released at launch.
I never understood the problem with snaking. It never even seemed that hard for me to do. It wouldn't bother me if its out though, I'll find new ways to race.
Although on the other hand I could never wavedash worth a damn in Smash Bros., and people that defended it all the time annoyed me so maybe I can see where others are coming from.

That is not snaking. Snaking is repeatedly boosting on straightways.The Faceless Master said:

I snake. I'm a damn good snaker.
And I agree that snaking ruined Mario Kart. It is not meant to be a competitive racer. It just isn't. It's supposed to be fun for everyone.
When I learned to snake, and no one else at my school did, well then, I was just left out of the MK races. Since it was obvious that I was going to win, and if I didn't, I was just holding back, and that's no good. Seeing how that felt, I decided never to go online, so I wouldn't ruin the experience for others.
I ruined Mario Kart for myself and others. : ( Snaking: the Anti-MK. : (

That may be so, but you don't get the other, really big problem that made snaking possible. The fact that your mini turbo is so good that the best way to play would be to mini turbo all of the time.
The only way I could see to improve this is to have your mini turbos give less and less of a boost, the more often you do it. You know, diminishing returns.

When everybody in a race is snaking it's fantastic though. It can be really intense. I just want options, give me the chance to play how I want to, and let me play with other people who don't.
