Love it! Online play is cool. Can't wait for more wifi games. Be careful, there are a bunch of cheaters out there on the Wi-Fi. I played against a guy who was 129 - 0. He was racing Bowser in the airplane and was faster than anything I've ever seen. > Be careful, there are a bunch of cheaters out there on the Wi-Fi. I > played against a guy who was 129 - 0.

What can you do to go faster? You can't just overclock the DS ;-)  SignatureHenrik Münster [=[_]=] Nintendo DS [+[_]::] Mario Kart DS friend code: 335067 499885 Henrik M?nster <news@muenster.dk> had this to say: > I've also met some very fast guys, but it's probably me, who's too > slow.

Snaking is using the hop boost on straightaways instead of just on the turns. Some driver/cart combos make doing this a bit easier (I think the low drift carts help, but I'm not certain). Many feel this is exploiting a game mechanic and thus cheating. I _think_ some have seen the NOA folks do it, and I think some of the ghosts do it as well so whether it's actually cheating or not is really in the eyes of the beholder. I don't snake, however. :) Signatureamarriner "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty" > My guess is you're seeing what some have dubbed 'snaking'.

You are probably right. I just think, that some players are very fast at coming back after being hit by a bomb or falling of a cliff. I thought, maybe there are some other tricks. Perhaps they have just unlocked some better karts and drivers, than I have. > Many feel this is exploiting a game mechanic and thus cheating.

Mainly because I haven't learned how to ;-) I often end going of the track instead. But I have learned to use the boosting effect while sliding round a corner. I'm new to Mario Kart, as you have guessed. Since snaking is a bit difficult, I try to obstruct the snaking of other players instead by getting in the way and pushing them.
