Mario Kart DS Snaking

hey, i've been playing mario kart ds for a few months now, and after only JUST getting a ds usb wifi connector i've played a few online games. People who snake really annoys me, but i guess it's part of the game. I've noticed that most snakers use Yoshi's 'egg 1' kart. Is this the best snaking kart, if not, what is?

What is snaking?

The snaking online is really annoying and it killed the online multiplayer for that game. Luckily Mario Kart Wii has provided a great alternative as you can't snake in that game.Gamer_152

Well it's not really a cheat ; it's a technique.

What is it?

Search youtube to see it in action. Basically they powerslide/boost across the entire circuit.

why is snaking considered cheating? if it is a part of the game then it isnt cheating man. It makes the game more enjoyable and fast paced. I cant stand playing the game without snaking because the game play seems so much slower. If you have tried snaking and dont enjoy it, then thats fine, but dont call the other people who is it cheaters.

It's a technique that allows you to take advantage of a glitch. Therefore it's a cheat.

It is because of snaking and cheaters that I can no longer play online races in Mario Kart DS.

The Egg 1 kart is the choice for snakers is because it has one of the best handling rating of all the karts. Fortunately, snaking cannot be used for most karts. I cannot imagine Bowser snaking as he has the worst handling of all the racers.

snaking: lame technique that you sell your hand functionality and the fun of the game to the devil in exchange of a simple +1 in your score.

Snaking probably is originated from a glitch as said before (dunno), i dont mind that vaccum thing when you get behind a kart, but the snaking thing takes all the fun away, i mean, why playing mario kart if you dont aim green shells at the guy in the front or toss a red shell and see him getting behind and eating dusty? why playing mario kart if you dont think of placing fake boxes and bananas behind the true boxes? really, in my opinion, if you want a fast paced game just for the fun of the speed, go look for need for speed or something else.;)

Thank you Turbo, I hate it when people say snaking is "cheating" or "unfair" because it is simply a technique. For those who don't know what it is, it's basically a person power sliding EVERYWHERE, around corners, down straight paths, curved paths, etc. It's really not that hard, my friend told me what it was and I learned within a week to do it on most tracks.

Nintendo however is at fault in this case. For every cart, they capped everyones max weight and speed, so everyone is the same, then all that is left is; power boosting, items and drafting. Which leaves not much variety when most will go to snaking. I'd rather Nintendo not cap max speeds and whatnot, rather keeping the speeds (IE. Bowser fast with no acceleration, Yoshi not so fast with uber acceleration) it would eliminate the need for snaking.

Although, I do agree snaking did not exist, so people could race "normally", because I can snake fairly effectively, but like everyone says, I'm shaking my hand off after every race.

It's not a cheat because it doesn't take advantage of a glitch. It's taking advantage of the technique.

The technique is only possible because of a glitch in the game so yeah, it is a cheat.

So people are still arguing about snaking?

I don't think it is cheating, just because you need to play a long time before using it correctly...

For the record, I only use the technique if the people I'm playing against are using it...

Same here. I only think it's a cheat because it takes an anfair advandtage to the majority of players. Mario Kart has always been about balance, snaking stirs that balance.

What is snaking?

when online someone uses a bunch of mini turbos and jerks quickly side to side

For the 10th time it isn't a cheat because it's possible without there being a glitch in the game. So no it's NOT a cheat so stop whining and get over it.
