Slipstream: Difference between revisions

'''Slipstreaming''' (also known as '''Drafting''') is a technique often used in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. It is present in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' . If a player trails behind another racer (or ''tailgating'') for a certain period of time, the player's vehicle will receive a speed boost similar to the [[Mini-Turbo]]. This can be used to ram the vehicle the player is slipstreaming behind and race ahead into a higher place. Slipstreaming is also useful when another player has been shrunk by [[Lightning]] or the [[Thunder Cloud]], and also when they are hit by the [[POW Block]] or [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]].
