How to long boost in Mario Kart

So a lot of people seem to not know how to do this, so here's a video explaining how to make mushrooms last for almost an entire lap.

Note: This is NOT a TAS video, and it was recorded in realtime with a single savestate.

Holding R decreases longboost time.  Only use it for sharp turns.

If you don't hold it then you don't keep the boost...

I don't really want to repeat what I wrote, so I'll say that holding R reduces longboost time. You should be tapping R to hop while putting your finger on and off the D-pad for control during those hops/turns. You don't even need to push R technically, but that's the only way to get off the wall while maintaining your mushroom speed.

Huh. I guess that's good to know then.

Snes9X on Mac OS X 10.5.6 PPC was the platform used to make the video, but the original SNES is where it's at!

[bibinson]

I wasn't, I was hitting the ramps at a very high speed.

How do people jump if they're holding R? Using L?
