Mario Kart 64 "power sliding"??

First of all, I haven't really played any mario kart game.
I was reading this preview of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! over at www.cube-europe.com and they speak of a technique in the N64 Mario Kart game called "power sliding". Is this similar to sliding and boostsliding in FZX? The page says it could even be used in straights, is this similar to railsliding in FZX?
If so, Mario Kart 64 is appearantly alot more similar to FZX than I ever thought... hmmm... 
Some insight and opinions on the differences and similarities in gameplay between MK64 and FZX would be very interesting! Thanks and goodbye!

Power sliding in MK64 is, as far as I remember, sliding trough a curb, then twiggling the control stick a multiple times to gain a speed boost...so it's pretty different from F-Zero. But maybe that's not the kind of power slide they are talking about here.

Power sliding in MK64 is very different from F-Zero X. No real similarities other than that they both make you go faster. In MK64, power sliding is a back and forth movement of the stick that if done properly, executes a small boost, where as in FZX you simply are gaining speed by tracking at a certain angle.

MK64 is pure turd compared to FZX. It was a travesty when compared to the GODLY Super MarioKart on the SNES. Now THAT is a pure racer and still one of the greatest games ever!

Hello there I played FzeroX a bit and I might buy it soon.
I play Mario Kart 64 a lot these day. But as for sliding it's not the same. The slide as they said are by getting the stick from left to right 4 time then releasing the R button. You can do them on straightway as well though I didn't knew you could do those kind of slide in FzeroX.
I think I'll have a lot to learn if I try this game.
