The Mini-Turbo is a term used in the Mario Kart series, which the player performs synchronized powersliding in order to gain a brief boost of speed. It has appeared in every game in the series since Mario Kart 64, and it can be activated by pushing both side directions of the D-Pad alternately when drifting.
In Mario Kart: Double Dash, in co-op, the player (who is driving) must press the R or L button to drift while the back player must tilt the Control Stick to left and right, however in single-player or non-co-op VS modes, each player controls both parts.
