Is automatic or manual better in mario kart wii?
Automatic is a great choice for beginners who aren't quite sure how to drift yet or people who just don't feel like it. But, to even it out with Manual drift (where you must press B to start sliding), you can't execute Mini-Turbos or Super Mini-Turbos anymore.
