Found my old 3DS XL today, only to be greeted with insane stick drift. Weirdly enough, the drift would stop whenever i got into a match in SSB3DS, but then would continue when it finished. Any suggestions?

I've never even heard of drift on a 3DS. Have you tried any other games? Is there even drift on the Home menu?

The most common problem of this variety is dirt at the edge of the touchscreen, but even that doesn't typically manifest as "drift".
