Should you always drift in mario kart?

Drifting is one of the most fundamental techniques in the series. It not only allows you to drive through tight corners more easily, but it also provides a boost of speed (aka a "Mini-Turbo") if you drift for long enough. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mini-Turbos can be charged up to three times.

Can you drift in automatic mario kart?
Automatic is a Drift mode for players just starting out or looking for an easier race. Unlike Manual drifting, you don't have to press down on the power-slide button- you simply turn in the direction you want, and a Hop and sliding is performed "automatically", with no speed lost.
