And this is another problem with having multiple threads. I have to explaun things over and over! xP
That "snaking" you saw has always been there, in MKWii and in MK7. However with power boosting being automatic rather than manual, you don't gain any speed by doing it, infact it's slower than just going straight. The only real purpose to doing it, atleast in MK7, is to bang around lighter karts at the very beginning of a race while you're in a big heavy kart. I usually use the smallest n lightest karts, so I definitely hate people that do that lol.
As for Bikes, the point is to keep the game balanced. Inward drifting and wheelies made Bikes OP in MKWii, so those features had to be removed. There's still the stat difference though, being that Bikes are generally slower n lighter but more agile and accelerate better than Karts. Plus they look different and will have their own customizations. More vehicle variety is always good me thinks.
