I think you're missing the point again. Very few things in the Mario games fit the rules of the real world, but that's not what I'm talking about. Jumping with your kart makes sense within the context of the game world because it is an established element rooted in Mario's superb jumping ability. And I'm sure I don't have to tell you that drifting is a real racing technique.

"Getting blue sparks" and having an actual boost at the end isn't a "real racing technique" though. And like I said, you're arbitrarily defining "what makes sense in the game world" by what you personally find acceptable. All that snaking is is doing drift boosts repeatedly. I don't see how saying "Here's a technique that was intentionally put into the game, just don't use it too often or you'll make the other players feel bad" is more natural than actually using everything that the game gives you.

I hope you're not just saying that because they don't like snaking.

...What? All I was saying was that your theoretical example of snaking by "holding down A+B+L+R and wiggling left and right" would be a stupid control configuration.
