What do you mean there's a B button?

Um this is impossible. How do I brake and drift? Doesn't seem to work lmao

Dammit, first place for most of that race and then messed up that last curve.
It granted me a win on the Excitebike course, so for now they're nice.

Does pumping the gas on and off work while drifting?
Just wait to get a bullet bill in tracks like Bone Dry Dunes or Neo Bowser City.
Have fun

Star + golden shroom in the subway is amaaaaazing.
-You can brake during drifts
-Let off Accelerate for a slight second if you need easier control
-Let off gas if you don't want the mini-boost from a drift
It just means you're actually using the whole array of buttons now, as well as having a reason to let off the A button.

For real. Had this happen to me a few times already. Even holding the brakes when I see it start slowing down wasn't enough to stop me from flying off the track.
I still pretty much never let go of A, just tap B while taking corners while still holding it. If you don't slow down too much you can still drift and get a boost out of it.
Like I said above, you can tap B for the same effect as letting go of A, and it does work while drifting if you want to keep the drift. Unless you slow down too much, then you lose it.

Hahaha that Baby Park was hilarious. I don't even know what I happened, I just got hit by everything and completely wrecked, and I kept getting golden mushrooms over and over.

Neo Bowser City is fun, watching people run off during that one curve.

Thank you I'll see if that helps
Holding b during drifts gives you sharp turns. The engine makes a distinct sound when you do it. Don't hold it too long though.

At least you don't "accidentally" boost when holding a Golden Mushroom. Having a Piranha Plant active over pits is stressful when it chooses to boost every second.
It takes some getting used to, I find braking at the start of the drift and then letting go while getting through the turn works okay.

I can't deal with 200cc neo bowser city. Those turns, no railings. God help me.
Hmm.. Thought so since doing a search on this thread didn't seem to return any results of anyone else with this problem. Guess might have just been something off on the first run of the update or downloading the DLC messed it up. It's fixed now though.
200 cc is pretty fun. Discovered how to brake and drift myself today. Man that is hard. Sometimes I forget to let go of the drift button and let go of the accelerate button instead and lose all speed since I'm still holding the brake lol.

For some reason, whenever I get knocked inches in front of the edge, I mistake the Y button for the B button and still speed off into the void.
Maybe I should try that stop accelerating thing too.
Every single time, without fail :V

One does not simply go for the shortcuts on Ribbon Road in 200cc.

Nope, it defaults to whatever you selected previously.

Cant wait to get on this when I get home. What are everyones thoughts so far on the new track + 200cc?

Holy crap first race on Village and I got 1st! Ready for my hips and dreams to be dashed next race.

U brake bro?
Seriously though, it's mandatory for those U turns. Don't forget, the rain will wreck your traction (unless you have a high traction build).
Big mistake.

When someone uses a blooper on one of the F-Zero tracks
Is that what it is now? Oh that might explain it then. I was thinking about it but ruled it out because I had moved to my next races but it just occurred to me that I still had hit highlight video on accident every time before next due to this.
Share the wisdom omfg!
Hah!
Start drifting early and lightly tap the B button. Simple as that

7th next race and I'm not even salty. I find 200cc makes me less prone to getting mad because of how ridiculous it all is.

I think I was doing decently as long as I was okay at the track and not getting slammed by items.
WAH!

Playing the Crossing Cup on 150cc. Everything is going perfectly until I hit banana right at the end of the last lap of Animal Crossing. I fall to eighth place for that race.
Medium for life. I'll never break it for Heavyweight!
I already got the hang of the brakes, that track just has unfun turns. On 150cc it's just as boring as on mk7 and on 200cc it's just straight up irritating. I just can't like it. :/

How to do that one section of NBC:
1) During the right drift, release a blue MT. Immediately start drift left.
2) Immediately tap the brake to maintain your line. How much to brake depends on if you want the coins or not. But you want to tap it on the way *into* the turn because that's how racing games work.
3) Briefly let off the gas to cancel the orange MT and then take a nice, tight drift to the right.
If you do it right then you should be able to take all three turns pretty tightly on 200cc.
It's not that hard guys now stop falling off and/or crashing into the wall.
