How do you drift with nunchuck in Mario Kart Wii?

I am a nunchuck player. This is how I do it. Instead of pressing the A button with the tip of your thumb to drive, practice using "the ball of your thumb" this way whenever you need to brake drift you just slide the tip of your thumb up to the Dpad and press down on Dpad down. (This way, both A and B are STILL being pushed at the same time so your drift continues). When you're going around the corners usually there is a clicking sound from my remote, that's the sound of the Dpad down popping back up every half second because I push and release constantly (That's just how I do it). You should get the hang of it in about half an hour of play, but also be ready for a callus to form on the tip of your thumb ;)

1. All: choose manual 1st
   All: give you a boost if held long enough
   Wii wheel: turn and hold B
   Wii remote and nunchuck: turn and hold B
   Gamecube controller: turn and hold R or B
   Classic controller: turn and hold R or B

2. You have to select manual and press be on a turn but if your using the wheel i recommend using automatic if you are using the gamecube controller press r

3. Just to clarify, you can drift by pressing the brakes, but make sure you continue to hold the accelerator button. If not, you will simply stop :D And if you need more help, look in your instruction manual that came with the game! It tells you how in there!

4. While this is correct, you must also select manual (as opposed to automatic) in the pre-race options.

6. To drift, choose manual driving to start. When you're in the race and coming to a turn, press the brake (on any controller) while still moving. Once you see blue stuff underneath you, you know that you are doing it right. Let go and you should get a mini turbo boost.

7. Depending on what type of controller you are using, the buttons to press may be different but the concept is the same. Send your car into drift mode with the correct button for drifting and move the control stick/wheel left and right rapidly while turning. Doing this should give you sparks faster. Sharper corners, how much you turn, and how fast you do this determine how fast you can get these sparks and a bigger drift. Hope this helps!

Version 4.0 of Mario Kart 8 added 200cc, and with it, the ability to brake while drifting for sharper turns. (I guess maybe this was in the game already, but they certainly added feedback with sparks for doing so in 200cc because of how important it ends up being.)

The problem is, the "brake" and "drift" buttons are both the B button for the Nunchuck control setup. While a specific change was noted for the Wiimote-alone setup (hold B+1+2 all at once), none was given for Nunchuck users.

So how are Nunchuck users supposed to brake while drifting?

Can you use nunchucks for Mario Kart Wii?
