Hey guys, first thread on this page. Just got myself MK8D and I had a question about getting the best lines. How do people generally go about finding out what the best lines are? Some things I've heard are:
1. Enter the corner wide then drift tight
2. Enter the corner tight then drift tight
Also I'm somewhat familiar with taking lines in racing, but not sure if that applies in Mario Kart. Like for example, if there is one turn ahead of you followed by a straightaway, its often better to turn late, hit the apex late, and allow yourself to straighten up faster in order to accelerate on the straightaway. But if the turn is followed by another turn or series of curves, then it doesn't matter as much. Is this same level of depth considered when people are trying to break WR's on tracks or is the general meta to just hug every corner possible when drifting. Hope I made sense & thanks in advance.
