@FssOfDeath It seems to be harder to successfully get a drift boost with gyro steering, but the overall experience is better and feels a little closer to a proper Mario Kart game. Not perfect, but close.
I have prefered if they designed to play in landscape mode and you could still go off-track like a normal Mario Kart game.
Landscape mode, gyro steering, tap/swipe on the right to use items, tap the left to hop and get into drift mode. Had they done that it'd be close to perfect
