There is no "best" method, as it all comes down to personal preference and what ''you'' find to be the easiest. | ||
==Tapping== | ==Tapping== | ||
A technique used by several runners. This involves tapping on your controller with your thumb, tapping the floor with your foot, etc. As long as you are physically performing an action in a rhythm, it should work. | A technique used by several runners.

Depending on how far away the mix is in the roulette, you can change the tempo / number of taps as you feel. A good way to find a consistent method is to open an emulator or official Nintendo release that has save-states, and just practice the timing over and over with the tapping method. After some trial and error, and a good amount of practice, it should come natural after a while. | Depending on how far away the mix is in the roulette, you can change the tempo / number of taps as you feel.

For some games, there are community-made videos that simulate mix timings that can make it easier to practice. Rather than using save-states in an emulator, the video can be played to memorize the timing. | |||

==Saying a Phrase== | |||
A unique and funny method for finding a proper timing is to say a phrase out loud (or in your head) that matches the timing of your mix. This method may be better for those who have trouble keeping a consistent rhythm with the tapping method. | |||
For example, one notorious line that works for the beginning wheel mix in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror is "Look at this graph" in tune with the song [https://youtu.be/BB0DU4DoPP4 Photograph] by Nickelback. As funny as it is, some runners legitimately do this to help during mixes. | |||
