I recently sold my psp to get a ds and i love it. mario kart is one of the games i own and i play it online and i have noticed some wierd things happening. i have a good record (15-12) but i have noticed that SOME people (not to be stereotypical but alot of japenese players (i.e. with names like suraki and such)) will be losing to me and near the finish their cart will skip and hop around the track and literally go like twice as fast as the other players and they end up winning. the first time i saw it was on baby park and i dismissed it as lag but i have seen it happen 5 times in the last two days. has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah, snaking looks like that when you're looking at someone you're playing against doing it, but when you actually do it, you'll see that it's normal looking, and is a good way of winning.

Yeah you get a hacker now and then but nothing compared to what you see on PC games. I once had a guy beat me in a race then spam me with a never-ending star to force me into 4th :(

Snaking is the most frustrating thing in the world if you aren't one of the people that does it. I don't know any other experience on DS online play that will get a person so pissed off so quickly. Also, Rockhopper_45's picture TOTALLY looks like Howard the Duck. Anyone remember that movie? No? Just me? He had his own theme song and everything!

its called snaking...technically ts nit cheating...and i do it somtimes too. but its really hard to master :?alchemist007
It's not "technically cheating" at all. It's technically not cheating. It's a perfectly legitimate strategy, you know why? Because the game let's you do it. Cheating is when you exploit a game's flaw to your advantage, snaking is when constantly powerslide. They would have tweeked the powersliding if they didn't want you to do it, but they haven't. People have been "snaking" since Mario Kart 64. How the hell can anyone call it cheating?

no when you do it you go side to side and when someone else does it, it looks the same, side to side.

no no no thats just lag. it happens with everyone. like in sky garden, if you see someone go through that shortcut, in your view, they're always gonna fall off but what really happens is he just goes to the next cloud.
