How To Drive FASTER in Mario Kart Wii (Delayed Drifting)

At last, the delayed drift tutorial! I don't make many tutorials for this game because it's just not my style of content but it was bothering me that a proper tutorial didn't exist for this basic, yet extremely important technique used in practically all the World Records for this game and by all the best drivers online.
* This technique works for EVERY vehicle but is most important to the ones with a higher drift stat since they have to drift so tight to execute a mini turbo.
For ground driving, slip drifts would be the next tutorial to make since those are also very important.
I recorded a lot of this on emulator for extra bodacious quality! Though, I messed something up because it's 50fps instead of 60 LOL

[@TWD98]

Jump and then drift after, it helps a lot! Works for every controller :) This isn't anything new but I'm surprised how many people don't do this and I think the reason why is no one ever made a tutorial for it lol

[@indisciipline]

Will you ever tell me why you used Rosalina?

[@randomcommenter7343]

Thanks for making tutorials like this, dude!

[@h0neyymel27]

ty my dude

[@beta511ee4]

I'd assume this isn't particularly useful for vehicles with low mini-turbo such as Spear or Sneakster, especially with their worse drifting stats. Also, can it be done with karts?

[@Themathgenius-bt4rx]

I’m guessing you can’t do it with motion controls Yes I still use them

[@sirTyperys]

I've had this game for 10 years and never knew about this.

[@mateomendez8573]

Seeing how to low-trick would be great!

[@chee2060]

just hop when hitting the ramp

[@Nao-ll7su]

Its case by case lol

[@diptipancholymdfacp3821]

thomas. You could do that combined with nose diving every trick and then you'll pretty much always get low tricks

[@3RR0R415]

you hop and land as close to the edge of the ramp as possible, then a bit after you go off the ramp do a trick, the best time to wait is about 6 frames (1/10), but that is quite hard to do as a human. just start by timing the trick as soon as you leave the ramp, it only saves like 0.1 seconds to do it optimally.

[@Nao-ll7su]

@@3RR0R415 seems like you're talking about CM ramp But once again its case by case so if you take like MMM ramp its completely different

[@andreyutiamco9201]

You have answered my prayers lol. I’ve always wanted someone to go over these advanced mkwii techniques. The only tutorials that actually exist on KZbin are for spindrifting lol. I’d love to see stuff on soft drifts, different directions/types of tricks for different purposes, aerial movement (turning, wheelies, pull backs), and so much more. This game gives you so much control of your character and stuff like this is why

[@TWD98]

Andre Yu Tiamco Yea I totally agree and spindrifting is a lot less useful than some of the others

[@lowercaseletters_]

Andre Yu Tiamco Yeah, I totally agree with you. In MK8D, it feels like I’m being controlled by some dictator who wants us to drive in only one way and not do these cool techniques.

[@Perc1000]

There's a guy called ArcIntel and he makes stuff like this

[@jagamin5003]

@@TWD98 any other tips to help learn delay drifting that’s isn’t in the video I can’t really see the difference between and the timing looks really precise making it seem like a nightmare to learn

[@Rekedien]

I never learned about this technique until like 5 years after I started playing. I eventually figured it out by watching people like you and wondering how you squeezed out mini turbos so easily (even on straightaways). I wish there would have been a video like this when I first started playing the game! But like you said, better late then never!

[@water5000]

+Rekedien I never learned this technique. Period. I've played for 10 years lmao.

[@AstroStar17]

This is fantastic! The community badly needs these kinds of tutorials and you're just the guy with the kind of reach needed. A handful of us are always having this conversation about how tutorials like these would greatly help the online environment and I'm so glad to see it in action! Going to be cool seeing some people start doing this. Thank you for making this!

[@julicat444]

Lmfaooo same I always used automatic up until a couple months ago

[@boppo16]

@@julicat444 welcome to the big leagues

[@Maidvelia]

Great explanation, glad to see this so soon. This is the first step everyone needed to know for keeping up online. While slip drift has been what we're used to as the term for the action, pfmp721 (TAS*Reo) made a tech demonstration video (the first of its kind) where he used slip drifting for when you immediately land into a drift from some pocket of air time or after landing from a ramp (examples: DS Delfino Square the right turn before the split paths--where you land from your wheelie immediately into the drift, and GCN Waluigi Stadium hairpin ramp--the drift right after landing). Instead, he calls consecutive drifts without a hop in-between chain drifts (similar to chain wheelies). I don't expect the term to catch on at all but I found it interesting that Reo made out the distinction between the two actions. I used to call it slip drifting too like everyone else, but after seeing that video I started saying chain drift.

[@TWD98]

Maidvelia thanks! I feel like slip drift is more of a blanket term a few things so it’s both a slip drift and a chain drift haha

[@blaise6553]

Omigosh thank you so much for posting this! I first found out about delayed drifting and how good it is in Mario Kart 7 when I was trying to beat my time trial records, and I'm really happy to see you using your status to teach others helpful mechanics and tips for improving! One of my favourite things about your channel in particular is how you don't just post racing videos, but you make content for everyone. I hope you post more on other racing techniques! I remember watching your tutorial videos on NinBuzz years ago and I would love to see you update them along with adding some new advice and tricks. Thank you so much for what you do Troy, you're one of my favourite KZbinrs and I wish you all the no-blue-shell first places!

[@n_steinhilber4200]

Love that you made a tutorial! Looking forward to more of these in the future!

[@jarroddobben]

I would love for you to continue making tutorials and showcases of all the tight technical stuff like this. I am just now discovering your content and I never knew I needed competitive mkwii in my life until now

[@neonpixel27]

I never even knew about this. 0-0 That's probably why the ghosts in time trials always seem to bypass me when I drift around corners

[@benjaminstephens6833]

I think these tutorial videos are amazing, I love how short they are while giving the pros and cons, plus back to back comparison of using and not using the trick, I also really like the end of the video, very cool! also would like to see more tutorials, I think the next one should be low tricking or wheely chaining. keep up the amazing vids!

[@willowcharm5470]

Me and my brother have been waiting for this thank you

[@Kaygovegan]

Really excited to see tutorials!!! I love understanding the game more

[@pinnacull]

Man I love this game. There's so much depth to it that the player base has discovered over its lifetime that it requires so much skill to be the best at, while also being fun for casual players. On top of that no race is the same and you can have new things happen even after 10 years of it being out!

[@SirEmanon]

Definitely more tutorials like this please! I wanna get back into the game once I get back home from college during break, and I'd love to try these out and improve my overall gameplay :)

[@tuunod]

I always felt these types of videos needed to be made for newer players. Every other competitive game has tons of guides for advanced tech so finally seeing a big mkwii channel cover this stuff is awesome. Please cover more stuff like this

[@SvenAntoniMaxim]

I was waiting for this so long! Thanks for making it bro!

I'm surprised no one's ever made a video on this before. Some may see this as a simple improvement but this will help SO many people drastically improve their driving/control. Nice video!

[@LethalxToucan]

Amazing Video Troy! I know for a fact your fanbase loves this tutorials including myself. A bit of a weird one but I would love a landing tutorial. For some reason I can never find consistency with landing into a wheelie or just bouncing when coming off a ramp or trick.

[@tylerw5310]

I first discovered this when the ghost I was racing was popping out miniturbos faster than I was. This is great vid. More drifting tutorials would be wonderful

[@Gio-qu7qe]

I was already a pretty good driver but I knew somehow there were still people who gained time on me on corners when I did time trials. Since there wasn't a tutorial anywhere online I had no idea what they were doing to drive faster than me until now since you made this video Troy. Ty for the tutorial.

[@MattL34]

To drill it even further, you should be delayed drifting on 90% of the corners in this game. Hop, and don't start turning until you're about to land.

I’ve been playing this for years now (one year ever since I came back), and I am losing time everywhere because I didn’t know how to do this properly and no one had an actual video on how to do this.

[@rileysullivan4123]

It was always confusing why sometimes I let go of drift early on turns (like what Troy was doing as a demonstration at the end). I didn't understand why my timing was off sometimes and now ik its because I was doing delayed drifts sometimes and then my next drift would take longer and my timing would be off. Now that I understand how it works it'll be a lot easier to do it more purposefully and get consistent with it. Great tutorial.

[@gonaldocr24]

I would love a slip drifting vid!

[@XolifreX]

Nice video, Troy! Explained it really well! :) Though, I'd like to add one extra thing which you didn't mention about delayed & non-delayed that is pretty important. Non-delayed is speedwise faster than delayed. While doing a delayed drift, in the hop, you're at 84 km/h, while non-delayed you'll be at 85 km/h. That's why it's important to still go for non-delayed drifts if you'll either be able to still get a MT out in time, or like you said on rBC3 last turn, when the turn is long enough. That's why you, for example, see ppl still go for a non-delayed drift on the first drift of rPG, or rMR first drift of the double drift turn (not many do it there, though, depends on the allignment :p), both of the KC U-turns and the waterfall sc and many others parts of other tracks. 👍🏻

[@leebydeeby]

I'd like to add that a hop whilst holding a direction is actually noticeably slower than neutral hops. You can see just how much time you lose by hopping back and forth along a straightaway (such as DS Delfino Plaza), and compare that to neutral hopping/not hopping at all.
