For example, in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', if B, 1, or R is held down while drifting, blue sparks will appear under the wheel(s) of the kart/bike, and the player will get a Mini-Turbo when letting go of one of those buttons.

In ''Mario Kart DS'', one must rapidly press left and right on the d-pad while drifting until a red flame appears. |

Drifting, also known as Power Sliding, is an ability featured in the Mario Kart series. This feature allows players to gain a short burst of speed known as a Mini-Turbo and to turn through sharp turns easier. It is possible to receive a Mini-Turbo in every Mario Kart game after Super Mario Kart, although the technique varies from game to game. In most Mario Kart games, it is required to hop in order to start drifting, this is not the case in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
