I remember reading somewhere years ago how snaking "completely ruined" the fun of Mario Kart DS for casual players because you had to do it online to win. But I never played online back then, and it looks so fun to try now. I love high skill ceilings - it makes me appreciate the skills of the highest-level players even more. Thanks for putting all this expertise together! :D

Snaking was easy, but they were not wrong. Races would start and people would be snaking immediately. Dodging blueshells was also really simple if you just watch the mini map and boost out of the explosion range.

Mario Kart DS was my first game ever played and I still beat my time-trials records on it ! However, I recently had way more struggle to go faster, but with this video, I discovered some techniques (like Fast-Falling) that will definitly help me and I can't wait to apply them, thanks ! (I knew about the PRB, but I think the most difficult part is not to keep it, but to control the kart once you got it, really hard to do !)

Very nostalgic video for me. I bought this game the day it was released as a kid, and played the heck out of it with my friends and on 'wifi connection'. It was the first game where I became really competitive (I had over 1k wins online). I think in '06, I once skipped a day of school to get a really satisfying time attack record in Sky Garden. My time was ~1:10 or so. Back then we didn't really have videos like this, and I wasn't in any community. I just played against other good players. As a hobby artist I also loved designing pixel icons for myself and my friends. If anyone remembers a Cloud Strife with a German flag - that was me. I vividly remember a guy having 'Italian God Racers' in his tag, and 4k wins, who I often got matched with and when I finally beat him once, I felt super achieved. Same for when I started consistently dodging blue shells with this drift and jump technique (don't ask me how that worked now though). You would learn about snaking easily by seeing other players, and there were tutorials online, but I didn't know terms for the other techniques you showed here, even though we figured out many by ourselves (you kinda got a feel for how to combine jumps and snakes over time). But if I had these resources back then, I'm sure it would have helped me a lot. I was just a 15 year old kid who loved winning races. Now I'm in my 30s with a career and barely any time to play games, and trying this today would break my fingers (I remember the snaking pain haha), but I'm really happy to see a community that still loves this game! I wish you all the best.

Masterpiece. Now I may try to shave off some time in off-road stages instead of tryharding 1:59 Rainbow Road (SC) all the time. I'm glad that despite being completely self-taught about this game's mechanics since 2009 till now, there's still a few things to learn. ( 8:18 my life is a lie aaaa ) I'd like to add tho, technically, is hopping out of a ramp that makes you drop down quite significantly like in Rainbow Road, faster, slower or equal to driving off the ramp normally? I'd say faster due to the engine pitching up but I cannot be certain... All I know for sure is that hoppin repeatedly in the first half of the first loop in RR will make you go a bit faster...
