Learn the snaking technique in Mario Kart Double Dash for Time Trials and online races. Master power sliding on straightaways.

Snaking is essentially a form of power sliding performed on long straightaways rather than around turns. To execute it, start in the middle of the track, move slightly left, then quickly power slide right before you drift off the track. Immediately move to the right side of the track and repeat the process, power sliding back to the left. This technique requires practice and a wide enough track section to avoid falling off into rough terrain and losing speed.

Tips
  • Snaking is most effective on wide straightaways where you have ample room to maneuver without falling off the track.
  • While not ideal in crowded 150cc races, snaking can significantly help when racing against other players online or when aiming for fast times in Time Trial mode.
  • Ensure you have enough practice to execute the rapid directional changes smoothly to avoid losing momentum.
