Are the SILHOUETTE Combos in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Good?

In the loading screens for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo put certain characters on certain kart combos. Is there any reason why they did this? Are these combos better than other combos? Well in this video, I go through all 15 silhouette combos and find out which ones are actually good!

the cat kart is called the cat cruiser which has the same stats as the teddy buggy and the horse and carriage is the prancer

[@romanaround01]

@@melissadutton1621 I thought the same thing! The bandwagon doesn’t fit her too well in my mind but Nintendo knows best 🤷

[@aluigiFromKart]

the prancer is quite literally the royalty kart, with the carriage design and horse power, and it's internally referred to as "Pch" so it's also literally Peach's kart in this game - personally, i like its stats as well, with a good mix of ground speed and handling proving useful for 200cc (the better cc)

[@mohawkmaster5728]

A good tip for when you're in first and you get a coin, hold on to it! It gives a tiny boost of speed that can help you recover if you get hit, and it guarantees that your second slot will be an item and not another coin. Also it's good fodder against boos who might steal a super horn or green shell when it matters
