    The buttons you press to drift depend on this.

    Start off using Automatic drift to help acquire you to your controller further.

    Are you going to be using a kart? Are you going to be using a bike? In addition to using either a kart or bike, you have inner-drift bikes and outer-drift bikes .

    Drifting on each controller is different with different buttons to press.

    You're not going to master it off of one try. Continue to practice until you feel you have a good grasp on it.

    Once you have a good grasp on drifting, select other characters or vehicles and see if you can drift just as well as you did before.

    No you can’t. You can get a Mini Turbo Boost when you have Manual Drifting Mode on.

      Tips

      • If using a kart, snake to go faster. Snaking can be achieved by drifting back and forth on long, straight parts of the track.

      • If using a bike, wheelie directly after drifting to go faster.
        Thanks

      • All karts are outer-drifting, so you'll need to choose a bike if you'd like to use inner-drifting.
        Thanks
