Snaking
Given that F-Zero GX is one of my favourite games ever, I am quite familiar with the concept of Snaking which (as far as I know) originated with that game. The idea is that you're "exploiting the game's driving physics" in order to increase your normal driving speed where it wasn't necessarily meant to be used. Before I continue any further I should mention that a lot of people consider this technique to be cheating. In most cases that wouldn't really matter at all, but since this is a reasonably popular game online, it's probably best if you stick to your better Judgement and only utilize this technique if your opponent is in agreement, and using it as well. This is just a personal position, once again, how you proceed is up to you. That fact of the matter is that a lot of people who play online use this technique, and while it is very possible for a non-snaker to beat a snaker, like it or not if you want to win online with any consistency, you need to know this technique.Snaking is the process of using the Drift Boost over and over again on a straight road rather than a turn, and using the speed boosts you get from it to boost you faster down the road. Basically you start on one side of the track and begin drifting while rocking the D-Pad. Try to avoid turning on an angle while you almost immediately boost yourself forward. The key to successful snaking is the extremely fast execution of the boost with the Drift Boost technique, you really have to rock that D-Pad. Done correctly you'll be able to do it back and forth, left and right, all the way up the track.
