is snaking just powersliding on straight roads? Cos when people say no snakers...does that mean they can't do it? because it is a great technique to win. so why not do it?
or have i totally got it wrong and made a fool of myself :)
Dont worry your correct, but people dont like "snakers" simply because it gives them an unfair advantage and regular players dont snake because it takes the fun out of the game. SOONER OR LATER YOU'LL HAVE TO CHOOSE A SIDE.
Of course it's supposed to be in the game, Robin! If they didn't want it they wouldn't have even put it in the game! And anyway, what's so bad about it? The sudden rush of speed turns you off? Then what about the other 20 power-ups in the game? The speed mushroom? The QUEEN speed mushroom?! Isn't THAT cheating TOO!?
It's not on Mariokart Wii...it's a hack that should be treated with the same level of disrespectful unsportsmanship as unlimited mushrooms/lightning/blue shells/red shells etc.
I grew up playing old-skool Mortal Kombat on the SNES, and got fed up with people winning fights by doing nothing but high-kicks and winning.
