Usually referred to as "MT". MTs are the typical method of going around turns, because they give you a speed boost. MTs can also be used on straightaways ([[MK64_Tactics#SSMTs|SSMTs]]).
====MT Speed====
====MT Speed====
* To MT, you need to slide, and sliding slows you down, so '''MTs should be as fast as possible''' (with some exceptions).
* You cannot just charge an MT as fast as you want. You must follow a certain rhythm. Also, you cannot charge an MT while in the air.
* To '''perform''' a left-facing MT: (right-facing is just the mirror image)
# Press R+left to start a slide.
# Continue to hold R, and as you reach the ground, press and hold right for at least 9 frames (.3 second) (or sometimes more than 9). It's a good idea to do this step slow (but not too slow) to be safe. Anything less than .5 second is good.
# Press left for 1 frame (yellow), right for 4 frames, and left for 1 frame (red), and then instantly release R to release the MT. However, most people are unable to press left/right for fewer than 4 frames, so most people should do the whole left-right-left motion as fast as they can. If you're PAL or have a fast thumb, you might need to slow down slightly.
#; Common mistake
#: Many beginners have trouble MTing because as soon as the slide starts, they instantly move the control stick back and forth as fast as they can. However, this just makes the MT much slower. You must follow the rhythm.
