I tried the Drift engine, and I agree what this engine offers to the races. Instant Sacred Fire, and longer time maintaining it. Great video!

Correct answer: All the time, every time. You then want to replace the OST with Initial D. It’ll be a whole new game then.

I actually am unable to play any other class now. Drift is so good.

I was only ever playing Acceleration before the engine swap update. Since then I’ve been using Drift and I feel like I’m better with it now

It’s my new favorite engine. It actually helps me make tight turns and move faster coming out of them because I suck. 😀

Huh, totally didn't know about the higher Reserves thing!

When you, say, are facing left while power sliding, Drift engine makes it so that 1. When you're sliding left, you turn almost as easily as the turning characters 2. When you're sliding right (such as when you're trying to slide in a straight passage), you'll be able to slide in a straight line like speed characters

This video puts it into better context - normally, it's very hard to get a straight answer on how best to use certain engines.

This is an awesome info video on the drift engine, as soon as I can, I’m going to dedicate a bit to it! Thanks CGE! :)

After they patched it, I've mained this class ever since. Yes, like you said, for certain tracks like Android Alley, I'd use speed. But for everything else, drift is the way to go. It's so versatile and forgiving online that its really the most balanced (pardon the pun) class to use. I used to HATE Clockwork Wumpa, now I absolutely love it. And it's all because of the drift class.

I've been using the drift mechanic quite a bit lately, and I've found that it actually helps with doing some of N. Tropy's Time Trials.

It easily became my favorite engine. That extra turn, plus that you can hold reserves so much longer, letting you keep your speed. The biggest shock for me was my time trial on Electron Avenue. With speed, I could barely make it below 3:45:00, but with Drift, I got a 3:24:00 casually. I was 21 seconds faster!! I still see potential in attaining a time below 3:20:00 too.

1:39 Oh i do hope you're planning on talking about how Underpowered and misleading the Turn and especially the Balance classes are.

Drift is an awesome class. I beat all my accel time trials when they tweaked the class. Now I main it this class.

Thanks, I think this is gonna help me win my last four tracks against oxide now.

Idk about everyone else, but I was able to finally unlock N. Tropy using the drift class. Based on my play style, it’s the best engine!

For some reason, the drift engine also has a more high jump. I also realized that although it has very good handling, for some reason, in the air it has a lot more and becomes very sensitive. I usually lose the blue fire for going too far to the side because of how sensitive it is in the air. The turning class has the best turn in the ground but in the air has the worse and you cant drift very well in straight lines. And last, the "balanced" class, its not balance, is the worst of all. It has low speed and very bad turning in the air, in straight lines and curves... In the original game the stats are more balanced... You can even defeated a tiny with a polar for example... Its like turning has two invisible stats: Turning in ground and turning in air (speed class has the best turning in air and the best turning in straight line, so i think is the best class by far)... And another invisible stat is the height jump that also depends on the class, Am I the only one who noticed this?

6:31 did they fix the time trail error cause until now i never played fearing that it will cocupt my data and because theu never give a patch note

I like drift a lot, my favorite class in the game. I love how versatile this style is! It has speed close to Speed Engine, Great handling and great accell with the boosting. Its honestly a very beginner friendly class in my opinion but still very fun to play.

I've been watching you videos since twilight tour and i forgot to suscribe, shame on me, your channel is great!

Drift is my go to engine, I never change. I looooovvee power sliding.

I didn't actually know they patched this class till you stated it since i tried it upon release getting nowhere until i saw this video and tried it once again. It felt completely different as if it took the best aspects of Turning, Acceleration and Speed and added its own benefits making it the best Turning based class to race with. It works wonders when racers hit me constantly to allow me to catch up and overtake most of the others because of the auto-sacred fire and easier sustainability of USF in some cases.

why was this on private earlier? it wasn't on private before when I clicked on it earlier so it confused me

The drift engine helps me maintain BSF for most of the time.

Would it be better to use that during the Time Trials against N. Tropy?

How do you get that airplane kart?

Which one do think is better drift or acculturation?

This is exactly how I use the drift class. I use it the maps that are hard for the speed class and then use speed for the simpler maps.

I feel like I have seen this video before!! Did you uploaded this video again?? 🤔🤪

Drift also has a weird corrective hop angle that’s almost akin to the turn stat’s.

What about making a similar video about another classes, like turning or balanced class?

Gotta agree with you there CGE. This engine is fantastic. Now I pretty much use every class for different tracks so I do not doubt potential in balanced and turn. However drift has saved me from failure on certain tracks like let’s say Papu’s Pyramid or Turbo Track. Now Papu it was more so an easy way to cut corners while being able to recover, but for Turbo Track (a track I honestly didn’t like before) I know like because of drift class. I feel like I just turn that much smoother. P.S. - You are 100% right about Dingo Canyon. I tried that before this video even existed and I was so shocked.

So after watchin this video I tried the drift engine and I gotta say it’s the best I tried goin back to balance but it felt slow and I couldn’t make those tight turn the balance engine sucks but the drift help me win a lot of races and it help me beat Oxide on some of those harder tracks to deal with him on

Nice!

6:36 Funny enough, Dingo Canyon was the first Track I did using drift and I got a new personal best.

- Drift: slide colisseum,polar pass,tiny arena,hot air skyway,clockwork wumpa,thunder struck,out of time,hyper spaceway and spyro circuit - Balanced: deep sea driving and cortex castle. - Speed: all the others. - Turn: it is good for nothing. -Accel: it is good, but it isn't necessary

I always use the classic engine, except for when I race as handlers like Liz, in which case I use the drift engine. I'm definitely a big fan of it.

Well thanks for the video but I am very committed to the turning engine in ctrnf

0:30 he really did us dirty like that 😂😂😂

you really love to play as Spyro

Can someone please explain to me how the engine speed boost power up works? (Black one, not the red turbo boost) Sometimes I get a short boost, sometimes it lasts an insane amount of time. I have no idea how it works.

Can you do a video on if anti gravity tracks should comeback to ctrnf

On Oxide Station the Drift Engine is probably the best It allows you to take all the hars turns pretty easily and maintain the blue fire more longer before bumping

So I guess that's the perfect engine to use and the ring challenges 🤔

I like Drift, because turns better than Speed, and basicly faster than Acceleration

I like to use the Drift Engine in tracks that have a lot o Blue Fire, since you can reach the top speed very fast (+ good handling). In other tracks, I’d rather use Speed because I already know how to u-turn, and it still has a little advantage over Drift.

Ok.. i didnt know drift does better with reserves than speed class.... really nice experiment there..

Drift engine is how I finally beat all N. Tropys ghosts.

I actually use it myself, I feel like it's better than Speed, I've gotten in first place so much online thanks too it.

The fact that I had no idea that the actual stats are incorrectly labled and that balanced is so rubbish but still win nearly every single race I've run online with it and by crushing speed and acceleration users means those engines aren't really all that. If your talented enough you don't need better stats to win.

For me it's a little strange to use as I'm mainly an acceleration main, but ita also getting me way closer to getting that 70k for the hot air skyway challenge.

With this new Drift (patched) engine I've managed to completely destroy Oxide's time trials as Coco and even hard difficulty AI can't stop me. Coco is now the Queen of Dorifto for me.

Hey look, this video is back!

If you know how to U-turn then speed is the best

I used Drift in all Oxide ghosts

I use it every time because Is good, and you can dogde the ithems very quickly

Can you do a video on Balanced? Are its stats accurate now?

I use it all the time

Great for blue fire tracks, that's about it

I like drift, it is basically a little more difficult version of acceleration

I used the drift engine in oxide station and guess what still havn't unlocked n tropys time yet and hes beating me with acceleration over speed which sounds puffetic when you think about it I give up air breaking isn't working in oxide station twilight ture prehistoric play ground or spyro circet its clear I won't be unlocking n tropy any time soon.

I can just hear the balance & turn mains demanding a video about right now._.

I'm a drift but I guess I could experiment for a lil

It's a turn engine with better speed and accel as well as better turn or control. I think it's better on Speed on a few tracks.

isn’t this reuploaded?

When to use Drift Engine? When playing as King Chicken. I prefer to use everyone's classic styles.

Honestly for me it replaced speed for me i like the better handling

Who needs drift when you can U-turn easily

Drifting is basically my main after it was patched (fixed), a perfect style i was waiting for. Just a tiny bit slower than Speed but way better in terms of handling, even better than Acceleration

@Canadian Guy Eh can you do reaction and thoughts video on Sonic movie 2020 trailer please?

At all times

Drift Engine singlehandely turned Dingo Canyon from my least favorite track to...a pretty alright track. Can't fix those armadillos

Balance, anyone

So drift class is for people that cant drift consistently... Interesting :v

I haven't played the game, but blue fire just seems to me like it ruins the fun of the game. Outrunning blue orbs/every item on the track, get hit by a course hazard and you still maintain a bunch of speed...doesn't seem like a kart racer when items aren't a factor anymore :/

Could you make a video talking about whether the Balanced and Turning classes get buffed? The problem is is that balanced has slower speed than acceleration and worst acceleration than turning. Turning is downright slow as well as it's stat being a double edged sword, allowing tighter turning but difficulty snaking, a technique that the game highly favors. Could you do a video talking about this? You have connections with Beenox and I'm hoping they'll listen to you

Is me or every Last CGE CTR video is like a Forced publicity to Speed class??? Despite that, i have try to test that Drift class, and being honest, was exactly like speed for me, that means an instant loss 100% confirmed for me... let me Explain: For EVERY CLASS who is not Turning, i feel a strage problem to hop and jump like an icy stage o trying to use a Soap, it feels so so sooo slippery for me, and i feel that so akward and uncomfortable, that's why for me a Class who gets more Speed than turn is an instant loss... Sorry but i'm still using turning because there is the only class who actually i can get chances for get top 3 and even win... And Please CGE, stop making indirectly Speed class publicity

Drift is what Balanced should’ve been imo. It excels at everything and is viable. I use drift almost exclusively. Being able to stay on the inside line and smoothly take the sharper turns can make all the difference with reserves and sacred fire involved. Overall I’d say it’s tied with Speed

Never because speed is better.

I only play the Accel class, because I’m a woman of culture.

Once again, this is not SONIC. If the feature is called "driving style", can you please stop call it "engine swap"? Being the first to make a successful video about it ahead of time, you were the one that involuntarily made everyone call it this way and it's incorrect. It's like watching Dragon Ball and referring to the super saiyan form as a "digievolution"; it's like traversing a super turbo pad and call it "neutral long jump" (from the Ratchet and Clank speedrun community). Engine swap and driving style are two similar features that belong to two different franchises.

I CANT DRIFT WHY IS NO ONE MAKING AN TUTORIAL STUPID MARIO KART IS FRICKIN BETTER UGHH

You should NEVER use the drift engine. Stop spreading misinformation. Drift class is terrible. You should only use speed.
