How to boost start and drift boost in Mario Kart: Super Circuit

To boost start in Mario Kart Super Circuit, press the &button between the second yellow light and the blue light at the start of the race. The timing takes some practice - but once you get it, it becomes an invaluable technique. Elsewhere, to get a mini-turbo drift boost on corners, sharply drift (hold R going round a corner) for at least a second or two then straighten up again. If performed correctly, you should see a boost. If in doubt, drift longer than not, and not unlike many other Mario Kart games, it&harder to find opportunities to boost in Super Circuit. Also, the video shows me jumping after a drift; this is not required, but helped me &up&following some turns, so try that if you&struggling to get it right.
