    I’d argue that Bowser on the master cycle, metal wheels, and the hylian kite are worse than what you said was the worst in this video. While its speed is sky high, the abysmal acceleration and handling guarantees you won’t be able to use ANY of that speed since it takes awhile to get to top speed, AND it’s impossible to turn, even while drifting. And if you stop for any reason, whether it be hitting a wall or getting hit by an item, you loose all that speed and have to go through the painful process of building up the speed again. Plus, the hidden mini-turbo stat on the combo is terrible.
    The mini-turbo barely happens on it. Truth be told, the combo doesn’t work with any character, but bowser amplifies the problems even more with his naturally low acceleration, handling, and mini-turbo. Maybe I’m just bad with bikes, but I swear that bowser on the master cycle with metal wheels and hylian kite is the worst character-kart-combo in the game. It just feels impossible to do anything with that combo.

      The combo isn't even that terrible. Rosalina isn't a super optimal character, but jet bike with standard tires and flower glider gives you a pretty solid overall balance of top speed (13), mini turbo (10) and acceleration (9) for a heavy kart. But Waluigi having all of those in better on his meta setup can be pretty demoralizing. Unfortunately in all possible kart combinations, Rosalina will always be a midfield character in those three stats, pretty good all-around but she doesn't excel in any particular discipline.

    @elijahdage5523 Před 2 lety +151

    This holds up pretty well statistically. The two most important stats in MarioKart are mini turbo and speed, since they come into play on every track almost constantly during drifts and straightaways. Acceleration and mini turbo are very closely associated, so weighing acceleration was a good idea. In my opinion, the worst combination would be the one with the lowest mini turbo and handling since it makes it impossible to turn effectively, but having worse mini turbo and low top speed is also an effective handicap.

    That part about handicapping yourself to make races more fair is so relatable to me. I often play this game with my brothers, but their experience stems only from those sessions. I, meanwhile, have beaten every dev time on 150cc. Suffice to say, not a fair fight. Usually, we play in teams, with them in one team and me in the other, and we turn cpus up to hard, but even then, i usually win. Sometimes, i just played entire races with my hands behind my head to make it more fair.
    UPDATE: did some science with my little brother yesterday. We tried various combinations, and i performed worst with inside-drifting bikes. I know those are the competitive choice, but i am a casual player who only ever uses karts, so inside-drifting bikes always cause me to hit walls. Ergo, in the future, i will only use inside-drifting bikes

    Something weird about the game is that all characters are roughly balanced, with Strength / Flaws that compensate each other while having a vast array of stats, and you pick the one that fit your style better. Meanwhile, the kart parts are completely unbalanced while having fewer stats changes. The culprit? Mini-turbo. It over compensates the loss on top Speed, while keeping high Acceleration and Handling. Basically, you are just loosing Weight. But what is the purpose of Weight when you are half a lap in front of each other?

    Hey man, this video is super cool! I've got a tip about the audio. When wearing headphones, your voice comes mostly through the left ear. Now, this doesn't really matter in the slightest, and the video is largely unaffected by this, but if you wanted a clearer playback you could try resolving this, I'm sure it's a fairly easy fix. I'm not certain what kind of microphone you used but it seems to be binaural, which is what's giving your voice this lean to the left. If you find the centre of the microphone, you can talk into that and the problem should go away, but there might be the option to switch the input to mono (single audio track) on the microphone. Additionally, most video editing software allows this adjustment too. Again, not super important so don't stress about it or anything. Thanks for da Mario

      It’s much more broken on 200cc cuz max speed makes it hard for you to hit drifts on some of the tighter maps. I ran 200cc time trials on tick tock clock an physically could not drift in some of the turns with a speed favored build. Plus, if you consider you’re getting hit by items constantly, being able to hit max speed quickly is very useful.

    Amazing analysis Jopes, and I'm sure you know this too, that acceleration also determines the hidden mini-turbo stat from drifting too, how fast it charges up for each tier, and how big the boost is from each tier as well. For most of the part. So acceleration is a big factor for going back to full speed and mini-turbos from drifting. This isn't the first Mario Kart game where high acceleration gives you an advantage, on Mario Kart DS, due to the high acceleration and handling of Dry Bomber from Dry Bones or Egg1 from Yoshi, their mini-turbos were overpowered which allowed anyone to drift or snake nonstop on straightaways which most other vehicles could not do. On Mario Kart 64, light weight characters with high acceleration like Toad, Yoshi, or Peach, were OP, while heavy weight characters like Wario or Donkey Kong were awful.

    • @Jopes

    This would only be really accurate if you raced exactly the same way every time, as you're bound to do better as you practice the track/use combinations you're more familiar with. I guess the only way to do that is by programing the inputs to beat the level into something automated.

    When you look back at the original Mario Kart 8, almost every vehicle part had some degree of viability. The only true exceptions were the Monster and Hot Monster tires, due to how expendable the traction stat was, AND the Metal and Gold Tires were superior for not only offering the same weight boost, but also a ground speed boost.
    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, however, was one big mess when it came to stat distribution, seeing as just about any vehicle part that did not boost acceleration was pretty much considered garbage. Even the Master Cycle became a complete joke, and that was a vehicle body that was pretty good in the original Wii U game.

    Coin collecting should of been taken into account with every test since it affects the speed of the racer depending on how many coins are collected. I believe that in each test a different amount of coins were collected each time making the results slightly off from one another. Great video tho!

    You're going places, my friend. This was so well researched and for such a humanitarian purpose of giving your friends a handicap XD. Hope you enjoy the Booster Course Pass DLC.

    This reminds me of one time years ago, I was playing Double Dash with some friends. One friend was maybe a little bit better than me at DD, so we kept trading first and second place. Our other two friends didn't really play that much, so they were having a rough time. We decided we'd play a 2 player cart (which neither of us had ever done before) to try and give them a chance. It didn't work. We still won.
