Fire hopping is pretty much useless in Mario Kart 8’s 200cc mode

Prior to the most recent Mario Kart 8 update, players could successfully exploit a technique known as “fire hopping”. If you haven’t heard about it before, this quick and helpful summary from Kotaku should help fill you in:
Fire hopping was first discovered shortly after Mario Kart 8 came out last summer as a way to artificially extend a racer’s speed boosts. By flipping the joystick on the Wii U controller back and forth in a rapid, repetitive motion at just the right moment when coming off a boost, players could maintain their enhanced speed indefinitely.
Fire hopping has since been addressed with Mario Kart 8’s new update. Well, in 200cc mode that is. While some claim that it’s still possible to pull off in this higher racing class, there’s no denying that it’s changed and has been “nerfed”, so to speak. It just can’t be done the way it has been in other modes, and the technique has definitely been impacted.
