huh!? why would snaking be cheating? From what I saw of it hes just taking using the boost feature. If this is cheating then taking tanooki suit is SMB3 or cape from SMW and flying across the level is too

It's not "cheating," but it abuses a game mechanic, over simplifys the game, and forces everyone to do it if they want a chance at wining. It also wasn't intentional at all. Nintendo had no idea they would abuse their mechanics like this. They clearly intended for you to be able to fly in Mario.

A drift that upgrades to a boost and the idea that players would not incorporate that into their strategy never crossed their minds :/ I guess its just weird for me because in other racers that incorporate that mechanic like the riders and sega racer games its actually encouraged to built up boost unleash them at any moment you get. I did not play MK DS and dont remember this in Wii so I'll assume that it was annoying.
