I don't recall doing a lot of straightaway drifting akin to MKDS' snaking in S&SASR, but then I spent most of my time online playing as Banjo: his turning radius is very wide to the point where I'd have to plan out any turns well in advance and hope nobody hit me due to his poor acceleration.
I do recall people constantly picking Shadow though because they carried over the wheelie boost from Mario Kart Wii without enough weaknesses in his other stats to offset it.
I also recall having to race the first course in the game over and over and fucking over again because that's the only track people ever seemed to set online and you couldn't tell before joining a game. I really hope that's ironed out a bit for this game.
