37. "It's basically the same technique as in MK64" In response to In response to 36
did you have it on 'automatic' or 'manual'? In 'automatic' you can't power slide.
But yeah, 'hop' going into the turn, then hold the hop button and the 'drift' button. These buttons depend on how you're playing (wii wheel, CG controller or nunchuk).
you move the joystick back and forth in order to steer around the turn, but you don't have to constantly flick the joystick back and forth in order to get the speed boost like you did in MK64. In MK Wii, when you hold your drift long enough, you get the speed boost.
the other main tip is make sure you do tricks & flips in the air, it gives you a speed boost.
