There is no one definitive answer to what is the best kart in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as it depends on personal preference and playstyle. However, there are some kart and character combinations that are considered to be strong and effective by players and experts. Here are some of the most popular and recommended kart and character combinations:
-
Dry Bowser and B Dasher: This weighty racer has low acceleration but high top speed, making it a great option for competitive players.
-
Cat Cruiser: This kart has great speed, acceleration, traction, and handling, making it a good choice for players who have a hard time with sharp turns and navigating maps.
-
Rosalina and P-Wing: This build features a combination of weight and speed that is just right, making it heavy enough to squash any competition that gets in the way. The Cyber Slick Tires add considerable extra speed, and the Bowser Kite boosts the acceleration and mini-turbo capabilities.
-
Morton, Circuit Special, Slick Tires, and Plane Glider: The Circuit Special kart is a speedy vehicle that also boosts the weight of the driver, making it a good choice for Morton, a heavyweight racer. The Slick Tires add extra speed, and the Plane Glider is a solid choice for acceleration and mini-turbo.
-
Inkstriker with Rollers: This kart has a good balance of speed and acceleration, and the rollers help keep the karts weight down.
-
Heavy character at the wheel with Pipeframe, Biddybuggy, or Streetle: Donkey Kong, Bowser, or Morton are good choices for heavy characters, as their weight sacrifices some acceleration but shines when it comes to handling and traction. Pairing them with the Pipeframe, Biddybuggy, or Streetle can offer acceleration and speed without losing out too much on traction and grip. The rollers or leaf tires are recommended for a higher acceleration boost and improved handling.
Its worth noting that each kart and character combination comes with its own set of stats based on speed, acceleration, weight, handling, traction/grip, and mini-turbo, so players should experiment with different combinations to find what works best for them.
