I just re-read the Mario Kart physics page (http://tasvideos.org/SuperMarioKartPhysics.html)
There was a boost similar to the red turn/blue sparks even in the first game. You got it by holding L/R or Right/Left and accelerate for a specific period of frames. No need to alternate left and right.
All it appears to me is that boosts have always been in the game, just made more and more accessible through the itinerations. If you watch the video of the tool asisted Mario Kart speed run, rediculous speeds are possible using that boost. Annoying perhaps, but stuff like that have always been there.
See Ya George.
