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. |
I know they said this for MK7, and it definitely feels like boosting isn't too easy and you can't snake in that game, but look at Donkey Kong 3:40. Sure seems to be getting a lot of boosts really quickly on a straight. It's hard to imagine he'd be going faster if he wasn't boosting.
I see your point on bike boosting, but I think we'll have to agree to disagree on what constitutes "variety."
