It has been found that the data provided by Mario Kart World regarding the characteristics of its characters and karts is not always accurate, since experimenting with various combinations of characters and vehicles has led to some unexpected outcomes.
In the thrilling world of Mario Kart World, similar to Mario Kart 8, we have essential character and kart details such as top speed, acceleration, weight, and handling. Interestingly, these attributes are connected to the size of each character, who fall into various unofficial weight classes. Characters like the babies or those lighter in weight will exhibit quicker acceleration but lower top speeds, while heavyweights such as Bowser and Donkey Kong will showcase higher top speeds, albeit slower acceleration. The game doesn’t spell it out for us, but we can figure it out by observing how the stat graph adjusts or remains consistent when switching between characters on the same kart.
It seems that there are additional, unmentioned statistics within the game which players aren’t aware of. As explained in a YouTube video by svcTyler, it appears that specific combinations of characters and karts outperform others in certain scenarios, even though their in-game stats suggest they should be equal. The video suggests that certain characters and karts secretly excel on specific types of terrain. For instance, Wario moves quicker on paved tracks, while characters like Cow perform better on dirt roads. This implies that Wario will consistently travel faster than Waluigi, who is in the same weight class and using the same kart, when driving on a normal road.
As Nintendo is unlikely to directly provide the data that players seek, further testing and analysis will be required over the coming days and weeks to determine which characters and karts perform optimally in different scenarios. This discovery offers an intriguing twist when choosing a character and kart, as the ideal choice can vary depending on the track you’re racing on. It’s puzzling why Nintendo doesn’t disclose this secret information within the game itself, but at least it provides dedicated Mario Kart enthusiasts with a challenge in their pursuit of record-breaking times.
In our review of TopMob’s Mario Kart World, we mentioned that the game for the Nintendo Switch 2, launching with the console, significantly builds upon what made Mario Kart 8 so popular. It offers a delightful and gratifying kart racing experience that’s simple to grasp, yet it also includes enough intricate mechanics to cater to seasoned kart racers.
In Mario Kart World, there are certain aspects players aren’t immediately informed about. This includes the method for unlocking Mirror Mode and the ability to evade Blue Shells with the game’s freshly introduced rewind function.
