No snaking in Mario Kart Wii

There has been a love-hate relationship with the ability to snake in Mario Kart. For those unfamiliar with the (in)famous technique, it involves using the drift-boosting over and over again, causing a snake-like movement pattern across the tracks. It has been in the game since Mario Kart 64.

It appears that might have changed with the upcoming Mario Kart Wii. Go Nintendo reports on a passage from the Official Nintendo Magazine UK's review of the game, where it says, "[Snaking] has finally been scrapped, and now your speed boost is determined by how long you can hold the slide." IGN has also corroborated the lack of snaking with their build, although to us that sounds like racers will simply find a way to slide through the entire course as we did in back in the Super Nintendo Mario Kart.

lol its pretty big news for ppl who play the game a lot as it completely changes how the game will be played(well depending on how this new sliding thing works) I was never a fan of the snaking, I always hated it. Whenever I played with my friends they would always fooking own my ass because they would go at like twice my speed because they would just snake all over the place and whenever I tried to do it I would spin out
