When the accelerate and brake buttons are pressed while a [[kart]] is at a standstill, the kart can pivot around, creating very precise maneuvers. While it is not a common tactic to use while racing, in nonlinear arenas such as those used in [[Battle Mode]], it is used to quickly change directions and aim items better.
A '''Spin Turn''' (originally hyphenated as '''Spin-Turn'''<ref>[https://m1.nintendo.net/docvc/NUS/USA/NKTE/NKTE_E.pdf Instruction manual for ''Mario Kart 64'', page 15. Also present on the Operation Card.]</ref>) is a driving mechanic from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, introduced in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. When the accelerate and brake buttons are pressed while the [[kart]] is at a standstill, the kart can pivot around, creating very precise maneuvers. While it is not a common tactic to use while racing, in nonlinear arenas such as those used in Battle Mode, it is used to quickly change directions and aim items better.


In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', a Spin Turn is performed by holding {{button|gcn|L}}, {{button|gcn|R}}, and {{button|gcn|A}} and turning while at a standstill.
''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' are the only mainline ''Mario Kart'' titles without the ability to spin-turn. Additionally, exclusively in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a [[Mini-Turbo]] can be activated by using Spin Turns.
