Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Character Classes Breakdown
Mario Kart 8’s character classes are one such facet that affects the performance of racers on track.
The characters of the game can be divided into different categories such as Light (Toad and others), Medium (Mario, Peach and similar), and Heavy (Bowser, DK and similar).
While this is true it is not as simple as it seems even when medium and light categories are concerned, each type in fact has two classes but heavy only has three classes.
What’s the characters’ weight all about?
Light characters are quick to control and move but have low max speed which makes them quite easy to bump.
Heavy characters take a long time to start moving but can go in great velocities and are difficult to overcome while racing against them.
As a result, medium built characters tend to possess both light and heavy attributes making them average in both respects.
Assuming that the character’s subclass determines the arrangement of all stats, the general make up is about the same.
Things to try when getting start
When you are just about starting out in Mario Kart 8 for the first time, try to experiment with different options until you find your favorite one among the options.
In case you are not hardcore into trivia, you can just pick any of the Nintendo figures that you prefer.
But if you want to achieve the best of the top times in Time Trials or wish to set up the best times in Grand Prix tours then you have to create some of the best karts and character combinations to finish in top position.
What are the best Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Character Kart Combo?
There is a good amount of a mix of elements, expect the performance you have in the end will depend most of how much you enjoy the configuration.
Some drivers are eager to ride karts with fast acceleration, since then the drivers will not have many issues after being hit or being spun out and losing a lot of time, while others rake in speed and use snake techniques to avoid being slowed down.
In our opinion, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is really a good choice and we recommend it for trying.
- Character: Any Level 3 Heavy, such as Bowser, DK, Wario, or Morton
- Kart: Pipeframe,Blue Falcon, and Streetle are excellent choices since they’re fast but don’t skimp on friction.
- Tires: Slicks
- Glider: Any (Actually we didn’t find that glider choice made a big difference to overall performance)
With this kart build, the maximum speed is impressive, but the trade off for grip isn’t too overwhelming nor is it the overall robustness.
Yet, for a faster time, if you are ready to sacrifice some traction, then a build with less traction can be considered.
But we wouldn’t recommend it, except for those who are participating in Time Trial events.
Conclusion
There you have it, our tips and guidelines for kart combination building considering how best it can be done in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
