Drivers
Mario and
Luigi are average racers. I recommend them to players that aren't
experts, but aren't intermediate drivers either.
Princess and Yoshi
Princess
and Yoshi are the fastest in the acceleration category. I recommend them
for intermediate players. Great for beating the 150cc.
Bowser and Donkey Kong Jr.
These two
are the fastest dudes in the game, although Bowser is VERY slightly faster.
I recommend them for EXPERTS ONLY! These two have the slowest acceleration
in the game, and if you think "driving" is bumping into stuff every 2 seconds
then you will get no where with these two.
Koopa and Toad
These two
are for beginners just learning the game, but even some experts I know
use these guys. Great control, average acceration, but VERY easy to bump
around, so try not to bump people too often.
Footnote:
Just because you use Koopa (For Instance), DOES NOT in any way mean that
you are a beginner, You could be a Kart expert and still use them, or anyone
else. I consider myself a Kart expert and I use Luigi, not Bowser or Donkey
Kong.. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, whether beginner, intermediate,
or expert.
