I was TASing Mario Kart DS, but the lack of the ability to drift isn’t a main problem. I can’t press three or more buttons at the same time, as the drift requires an A, right or left, and the R buttons at the same time.
Planned runs: Marble Madness (Arcade, Genesis J, GG/SMS) Proposed: Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis, GG/SMS, CD: regular, camera freeze) Ecco: The Tides of Time (Genesis, GG/SMS, CD; normal mode) Mario Kart DS (all cups, all missions) In progress: Grand Poo World 3 (all exits hard mode)

Are you sure this isn't a problem with your keyboard? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key)

No. I press the left, A, and R buttons to make a drift for Mario Kart DS, but the first two buttons I pressed were counted, the third wasn’t.

Are you using a controller or a keyboard? If you're using a keyboard, does that combination of three buttons work in any OTHER program? (for example in notepad)

It was a keyboard, and two keys were pressed at the same time when I put three fingers in three keys I tried. If three buttons were pressed in the emulators, it is recommended when I play Mario Kart DS.

Try finding combinations of keys you can simultaneously hold down in a program like notepad. (Some combinations will work and some won't; it depends on what model of keyboard you have.) Then they will work in Bizhawk too.
