A Cure to All Your Troubles
Snaking

This little skill will enable you to beat those horrid staff ghosts in Time Trial, along with giving you a much better chance at winning your standard Gran Prix race.
It basically involves a light character, with low Drift, high Acceleration, and low Top Speed.
I reccomend Yoshi and his Poltergust 4000 kart, or if you havn't unlocked it yet, go with his Egg 1 kart.

Pick a simple track, say Baby Park, Luigi Circuit, Figure-8 Circuit, or Star Cup's Mario Circuit. I also highly reccomend that you play on 50cc at first just to learn this. You get more roaming area when you're slower.

We all know how to get a turbo from power sliding, right? It gives you quite a boost! Well, snaking is just getting that said boost over and over again on a straight.

1) While driving down a straight, slightly drive towards the right side of the straight (maybe at around a 15° - 20° angle).

2) As you're edging closer to the side of the road, perform a powerslide to the left. Whilst in this slide, quickly try to pull off a turbo boost.

3) Just as you're finishing the first boost, immediatly get to work on the second. Just do it again in the opposite direction.

Now you can see why it's called "snaking"
Just think about it like you're powersliding through a snake-turn in the road, see?
Be sure to practice on 50cc though. It's way too hard to learn on the higher difficulties.

Once you get the feel of your kart, and how quickly you can repeat the boosts, you'll become a master in no time!
Power-turboing on straights and turns is what'll give you your wins. Your losing opponents will be sure to complain about "Snaking is Cheeting" on Nintendo's official forums.

LEARN IT!!!

Yeah that sounds like Alstor, bad ass on the outside with pansy ass creme filling.
But yeah I expected more results for it also. I might take a look at it again.
