How to boost start and drift boost in Mario Kart 64

To boost start in Mario Kart 64, press the &button between the second red 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, drift then alternate left and right until the clouds turn orange, then red. If you need a place to practice, Wario Stadium is an excellent course with plenty of long corners to try it on. #N64
