Who said it was cheating? we said it was immoral, and you can't deny it.
It's only on straight ways anyway, you can still do drift boosting in corners and turns.

So what exactly is the referee going to do? Drive along without hitting item boxes? Or just stay stationary?
stay stationary yeah, but most important he'll have to check the match result. We need to know who wins a match (and we can't rely on the players to tell us who won because you could all say that you've won and nobody would know the truth.. get my point?)
QUOTEI certainly won't take part in a tournament in which I'm not even allowed to do my best...
Think twice.
If snaking is forbidden, EVERYONE has the same chances to win.
If snaking is allowed, the NON-SNAKERS will have no chance to win, which is unfair.
And don't tell me "learn snaking". I'm not writing this post in french and telling you "learn french".
Now if you're a good player, you can play without snaking.
Not pretending I'm a good player, I've personnally been able to beat all 150cc mirror cups without snaking (BUT using drift boosting in corners!) quite easily.
If you're a good player, you should know all the courses. You should know the shortcuts, you should know the cars, you should know the boxes, you should know everything. But you certainly don't need snaking.
