There are several different drifting techniques to use in races.

Contents

[edit] Basic drift

This is the most basic type of drift. All the other drift techniques are variations of this technique.

To drift, press shift while turning. An important thing to remember is that just letting go of shift will not end your drift, you have to exit your drift by turning the opposite direction. For example, if you want to drift to the right, use:

 ↑  + + ShiftStart drift
 ↑  + Counter drift

[edit] Drift boost

To counter the reduction in speed from drifting, you can use a slight boost after each drift. To do this, just as the drift ends, let go of up, then press it again.

 ↑  + + ShiftStart drift
 ↑  + Counter drift
 ↑ Boost

[edit] Double boost

This technique is used to get two drift boosts. To use it, do a normal drift, letting go of up as if you were to drift boost, but not pressing it again. Then drift again, and use both boosts. The tricky part is that you have to do the second boost short enough so that the time to use a drift boost doesn't run out.

 ↑  + + ShiftStart first drift
 ↑  + Counter drift
Let go of everythingFor the first drift boost
+ ShiftStart second drift (Important: Don't press up again or you'll use the boost)
 ↑  + Counter drift and use first boost
 ↑ Use second boost and continue normal driving

[edit] Multiple boost

A harder version of the double boost, using multiple drift boosts. Start out the same as the drift boost -

 ↑  + + ShiftStart second drift
 ↑  + Counter drift
Let go of everythingFor the first drift boost
+ ShiftStart second drift

Repeat the second part as many times as needed.

 ↑  + Counter drift
Let go of everythingFor the next drift boost
+ ShiftStart next drift

End with the last two boosts and exit the drift.

 ↑  + Counter drift and use boost
 ↑ Use last boost and continue normal driving

[edit] Mirror drift

A usually useless technique used to turn your kart around while going forward. It can be useful, however, if you accidentally turn around. (in this case, skip the first part) Another use for the mirror drift is in item mode - if you have a rocket and someone's at your tail. Mirror drift, shoot, and mirror drift back.

The first part is to turn around.

 ↑  + + ShiftStart normal drift
 ↓  + (at about 3/4 to 180 degrees)Start going backward
 ↓ Reverse

After turning around, turn back.

 ↓  + + ShiftStart drifting back
 ↑  + (at about 3/4 to 180 degrees)Start going forward
 ↑ Resume normal driving
