Mario Kart DS/Driving techniques

Rocket Start
This is when you get a speed boost right off the start line. To perform a Rocket Start, press and hold right after you hear the sound of the second beep in the countdown - ignore the numbers and just press the button after the sound of the "2". If done correctly, your kart will receive a powerful boost right from the starting line. The amount of boost varies slightly depending on how precisely timed the button is pressed and held. Press the button too soon and you will peel out, creating a big cloud of smoke, as well as not being able to move anywhere for a few seconds.

Alternative methods

 * Hold down as soon as the count begins, then release it and press it again quickly right before 'Start' appears.


 * Hold during each number of countdown. hold while '3' is on screen, release when it disappears, etc...hold after 1 disappears.

Drifting
To drift, simply press and hold while going round a corner. If done correctly, your kart will swing around in a wide arc. You can adjust the path of your drift by using or. Drifting (sometimes called Powersliding) allows you to go round corners slightly faster and stay tighter to the inside of the bend.

Mini-Turbos
This technique gives you a little power boost while drifting round corners. To perform, press and hold down the  in the direction you want your kart to drift. When your Kart starts to drift, immediately press and  repeatedly. If you are doing it correctly you'll notice some blue sparks coming from your tyres, and then if you keep doing it you'll see orange sparks. The orange sparks mean that when you let go of you will get a mini-turbo.

The strength of mini-turbos varies a lot depending on what type of kart you are using. Generally, the big-wheeled karts, such as Mario's B Dasher and Yoshi's Cucumber do very weak mini-turbos, whereas the "novelty karts", such as Toad's Mushmellow and Dry Bones' Dry Bomber do very powerful boosts that are almost as good as using a mushroom. The standard karts perform somehwere in between.

this cheat is way to hard do not try tha snaking it is fucking waisting ur precious little time

Dodging Spiny Shells
To dodge Spiny Shells, first go into a powerslide. Turn your sparks red by pressing and  repeatedly. When the Spiny Shell comes, it will hover over you for a split second. Then it will tip downwards. Right when it does this release your power slide and press. If your timing was correct, you should have successfully dodged Spiny Shell. This is possible in 100cc, but only on tracks such as Frappe Snowland, where the terrain is more slippery.
