How is drifting with a bike different than drifting with a kart? - drifter looking

I normally play using a kart, but most my friends play with a bike. I tried playing with a bike and I was completely unable to make any turns, it seems like the entire process of drifting (when to start, what the curve looks like, when to stop) is completely different than on a kart.

How do you adjust the drifting strategy when making turns with a bike?



Best Answer

Some bikes have different drifting physics than other vehicles. This is known as "inside drifting" as opposed to the standard "outside drifting". The differences between the two are outlined here. You can tell which bikes are inside-drifting because they have a very slightly different icon next to their name (or you can just try it out, it's easy enough to tell).

Is there a difference between karts and bikes in Mario Kart 8?

Similar to karts, weight classifies bikes. They're recommended for Time Trials because they have superior turning and their ability to conduct wheelies.

Inside/Outside Drifting defined In some cases you will slide as far as 1/4* of width of the track. Outside drifting - the bike will turn in the direction you are drifting, but the center of gravity (like a real car) is near the rear, so the car will lurch "outward" in the opposite direction your are drifting.
