I'm with you on the weight stat thing. On Mkwii the weight stat is even more busted to the point using lightweights are unviable on tracks due to respawns. I bought mk8d just because the lightweights are very usable and I love toad and the baby characters!!!

[@amomentintimedigitaldesign381]

I think villager gap jumped on mushroom gorge

[@jacobesterson]

Unviable is a stretch but sets like Funky Kong + Flame Runner and Daisy + Mach Bike definitely outclass any of the lightweight options.

[@antoine_as]

Univable is exagerrated, I remember I had reached 9999 points with Baby Luigi Bullet Bike and stayed around the 9000s during a long time. But yes, you were ejected pretty far at the slightest impact, and it was even worse in the air.

This is my setup while i play (i just used drybones instead because basically the same stats).

Its a pure skill build that can definitely top the best builds out there if you can play to its advantages

[@billybobmcthroop298]

[@xiii-Dex]

This was actually my main for about 4 years. I dragged it up to just over 9k. Eventually I stopped playing as much, and my little brother got too far ahead in rating (around 13k). Between that matchmaking, and my own skills being rusty, I was stuck mid-pack a lot. Which is really rough in this combo, so I started playing heavy(er) characters. This combo is/was not bad at most tracks, you just need to stay out of trouble and have a smooth run. 200cc and twisty courses are your friend, you feel like a god. It's lost some since the stat rebalancing, but before that anything biddybuggy/rollers was at least decent. Even now I'll still play this combo on occasion for fun, especially when I'm matchmaking at my own rating.

[@ItzLarry_nintendo]

if you use baby peach with the biddybuggy and rollers then it basically maxes out handling XD but great video nice job!

[@the_downloader]

I really like how you just put the soundtracks back on manually, lap 3 and end of races are weird but it's way better than no sounds at all

[@Cramped13]

This combo has godly acceleration and handling and very good traction so I think it’s pretty good

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

[@bolson42]

This really goes to show that top speed isn’t all that important in lobby especially when you get hit a lot lol. What’s more important is getting to your top speed quickly and having good mini turbo which this combo is great for

[@absolutezerochill2700]

15:03 that guy probably threw his pro controller at the wall

[@bryanlokao1]

I started watching the Dry Bowser with the heavy combo and it was nice as this one! The universe wants me to win at the end was great 😂

[@aehfoibyr2931]

In the original Kart the 2 characters with the most speed were Bowser and DK, but they were hard to steer. In Kart 8 the the drift boost concept means that the character/vehicle/tires/parachute are supposed to be used to have the highest "acceleration". If you have highest acceleration and can keep boosting, you are the fastest.

[@akumaisreal2090]

While that's not my exact build, different body and glider, my stats are exactly the same. I perform pretty well with it, especially the more tight turn focused tracks. If my luck is good and I keep a solid defense and occasional boost I consistently place top 3. It's not an optimal build but for some reason I fell in love with it lol

[@Shortcat321]

Awesome! I also used to main this combo, mainly for the mini turbo stat. Charging them quickly is so fun

[@Kaisarfire]

3:28 That was so smooth. And I'm shocked Lakitu didn't get you for your stunt before it.

The thing is you have optimal mini turbo but dry bones combo has too but more speed so thats better but yoshi teddy is less mini turbo but sooo much better in speed and you still have much mini turbo

[@Shortcat321]

exactly. the hidden mini turbo stat is pretty busted, tbh i think MT > speed, but only by a little bit. the reason i think this is because the current most popular combo (yoshi tier + teddy buggy) is tied for #1 highest speed + MT sum. and of those best combos, yoshi teddy has the #1 highest MT stat, and lowest speed stat. even if you look at prepatch, so many records were set on waluigi/biddybuggy, which is exactly the same idea. it was tied for #1 highest speed + MT combo you can have, and it had the highest MT / lowest speed out of those combos. walu/wiggler also had very similar stats.

[@65435]

Yeah i mean mt is better than speed imo but still online its literally bad to go in all mini turbo cause much Mini turbo=less weight and you get bumped of very easily with the Yoshi combo you still get bumped pretty hard so i use the Rosa combo i feel like online you can do
