Oh come on, its even ironically called a "test drive" when you've already banned a bunch of stuff.
the term "test drive" was meant as in "lets give this game a shot as a tournament" and nothing more.

all VR means is that they placed 6th or better thew majority of their races. doesn't really mean they are good so dont let it mess with you. just learn the tracks and find a kart build that fits what u r looking for(top speed/accel....ect)

Are heavies or lights better in this game?

Right now I'm using Bowser in that blue car with roller wheels and paraglider. I've only gotten 500 coins.

Yeah, VR means absolutely nothing other than how much time you have spent playing. People have over 20,000 VR...max is probably 99,999.

There is no best character class. Every class has potential to ****, though lighter characters are easier to use because they have more flexibility with parts imo.

Part unlocks are random...you have to get 5,000 to get all the major ones except gold ones...but those are pretty garbage anyways. Obviously, always have 10 coins, unless you have to go out of the way to get them. The payoff is worth it.

Obviously trick whenever you can. Some are obscure.

Just find a balance you like. Speed and Acceleration are always important. Handling depends on the stage itself, but anything around 3 is good enough. Weight isn't really important overall, so you can sacrifice some since you use Bowser. A few stages are considered completely off-road and slow you down a little, but you shouldn't worry about this stat too much for the most part since you shouldn't be traveling off-road on other stages unless you have mushrooms/star.

Have to learn shortcuts as well. Some are herp-derp obvious, some are more obscure. Don't forget about the glitch ones for the two Wuhus in case you meet people who spam them...

After that, it all comes down to luck. Sometimes you have bad luck, sometimes you have good. Just have to deal with it.

Thanks, guys.

Is there a tier list of characters? I swear I've never seen anyone else use Bowser. XD

My favorite part of playing online is definitely trolling people by only picking the Bowser stages.

IMO if you are good you wont be getting hit as much so you would have no need for accel/off road(aka light weights). So id say that since you dont get hit much you wanna go as fast as possible and heavies grant you the highest speed.

I use bruiser kart+slick tires+paraglider and my character is WIGGLER(mid-heavy). My handling stat and off-road stat is GARBAGE(i dont plan to be hit/go off road often) but my speed is almost maxed out so i can literally out race light chars even when they have boosts/drift boosts.

Im pretty sure the fastest thing in the game is Metal Mario+gold kart+gold wheels+gold glider. The problem is your off road/handling/accel might be near ZERO so u had better plan on not getting hit/going into grass/mud.....ect.

The only time there is a CHARACTER tier list was in n64 where all chars had the same kart and in mk64 yoshi was the best. The rest of the games its mainly kart+characters that make the tier list.

in mkwii it was flamerunner+ yoshi or something that was the best.
in mkds it was drybones+egg1
in gcn im not sure.
snes im not sure
mk64 was yoshi.

^Pretty much this. If you max out speed and get 10 coins you'll be unstoppable. That being said, realistically you will get hit by Blue Shells/Red Shells/Lightning Bolts/dumb stuff, and it will take a bit of time to get max speed back. Just experiment and see what happens.

Don't focus too much on the sea/sky stuff, because you will be on LAND for the most part.

I know a pretty decent build for Heavies is Bruiser+Wood+Paraglider-type. Everything is good except Acceleration.

also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to time trials and use the "7" option. You will race 7 ghost(at the same time) with varying difficulty. Some of those ghost are OBSCENE and will teach you secret paths/short cuts as well as perfect drifting. All of this will help you gtet better.


if you just wanna unlock stuff FAST just go to 50cc/banana cup and grab 10 coins every race. In one hour you could do about 120-200 coins.

Beast Glider=5000 coins
Random Part 1 =50 coins
Random Part 10=700 coins
Random Part 11=800 coins
Random Part 12=900 coins
Random Part 13=1000 coins
Random Part 14=1200 coins
Random Part 15=1400 coins
Random Part 16=1600 coins
Random Part 17=1800 coins
Random Part 18=2000 coins
Random Part 19=2500 coins
Random Part 2 0=100 coins
Random Part 20=3000 coins
Random Part 21=3500 coins
Random Part 22=4000 coins
Random Part 23=4500 coins
Random Part 3 =150 coins
Random Part 4 =200 coins
Random Part 5 =250 coins
Random Part 6 =300 coins
Random Part 7 =400 coins
Random Part 8 =500 coins
Random Part 9 =600 coins
