To realise the best combination for optimum handling in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, pay attention to factors such as the weight of a character and how this affects the acceleration of the vehicles
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – best combination for every weight class
In the popular Nintendo racing game, you choose characters that are medium, light or heavy. That’s what’s behind the well thought-out division of the weight classes, which have a direct effect on the driving behaviour.
- Play figures with a light weight may not go as fast overall, but they are the winners in acceleration. Handling is good, making them suitable for younger players.
- Heavier characters are not as easy to control and accelerate less. On the other hand, they can reach higher speeds, which gives them a decisive advantage in the game, especially on a straight track, and can earn them more items.
- You can find an exact distribution of the values by selecting a character. There are also small but subtle differences within the individual weight classes.
How to find the right kart for your play figure
Less experienced players should look for balanced handling rather than maximum speed.
- Karts that can go fast but fly out of corners due to poor handling cause frustration and cost valuable lap time.
- Always choose vehicle tyres to match your character to ensure optimum grip without progressing too slowly. Small tyres are an ideal combination for heavy drivers.
- The glider doesn’t give you an advantage in all levels, but it always has a favourable effect on the overall combo when you jump a lot and soar through airy heights in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
- Heavy and thus exceedingly fast game characters are in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Bowser & Bone-Bowser, Morton, Wario, also a big and heavy Mii races around the tracks.
- Combine them with cross bike, go kart, fashion scooter, spruce buck, horsepower galley, dot kart or scooter.
- As a secret tip for the best driving performance, equip your vehicle with small wheels in red or turquoise.
