I played it once in a store. Controls were challenging at first. I hope you can use a Gamecube controller... But Luigi. definitley the best.

5a) Light characters. Name: Baby Mario Bonuses: Weight +11% Handling +7% Analysis: Well, the weight can help you a lot with other light characters, but with medium and heavy characters they’ll simply knock you over anyway. The handling bonus is the best of all the light characters too. Overall, this is probably a good kart to pick if you’re a beginner. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Baby Luigi Bonuses: Speed +6% Weight +11% Analysis: Like Baby Mario he adds a bit of extra bulk to the vehicles. However, Baby Luigi also makes you go slightly faster. This makes him a good choice if you decide to pick a kart or bike with a low top speed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Baby Peach Bonuses: Speed +4% Weight +7% Acceleration +4% Handling+4% Analysis: Baby Peach is underrated, if you ask me. Few characters add bonuses to four categories, and three are in the most important categories (I don’t think I need to tell you what they are). Pick this if you want a little extra in all the essentials. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Baby Daisy Bonuses: Speed +6% Weight +7% Mini-Turbo +4% Analysis: Baby Daisy is a pretty nice choice too. The speed she gets is great, and the weight bonus can help with other light characters. However, another cool thing is that she gets a better mini-turbo, although this doesn’t mean much if you use automatic. Baby Daisy is worth using if you like to have a lot of extra speed to your vehicle. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Toad Bonuses: Acceleration +7% Drift +7% Analysis: Well, he adds a fair bit to the acceleration (which in a game filled with items is always a plus). The drift he adds is also nice, especially on karts or bikes with low drift settings. Toad is worth trying if you’re worried that you’ll get hit by lots of items (which would be completely understandable). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Toadette Bonuses: Speed +4% Off-Road + 8% Analysis: I think that Toadette is highly overrated. Everyone seems to think she’s brilliant. The Off-Road that she adds is definitely notable, but once you get the hang of staying on the road it’s minimally essential, except on tracks with a lot of off-road areas. She does get a nice speed increase, but then so does Baby Peach. Only use Toadette if you’re not very good at staying on roads. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Koopa Troopa Bonuses: Handling +4% Mini-Turbo+ 8% Analysis: If you use automatic, he’s not that great. If you use manual however, the extra boost this guy gets from drifts is definitely a great aid, and also his handling bonus isn’t to be shunned. I use him occasionally; he’s best on courses with lots of turns or straight roads (depending on the vehicle you use). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Mii (Small) Bonuses: Speed +4% Weight +4% Drift +4% Mini-Turbo +4% Analysis: As well as being yourself amongst all the famous Mario characters, you get some nice stats increases to boot. The combination of drift and mini- turbo bonuses is always good, and means that on tracks with lots of corners you can abuse it as much as you want. Overall, the Mii is second only to Baby Peach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 5b) Medium Characters Name: Mario Bonuses: Weight +7% Acceleration +4% Handling +4% Drift +4% Analysis: Mario is not only good at rescuing Princess Peach, he’s also well skilled on the race course, which is just as well, since the game is named after him. He has bonuses in four categories, which is not common amongst the cast. Use him if you’re a beginner. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Luigi Bonuses: Speed +3% Weight +7% Analysis: Once again, Luigi is left in the shadows of his more famous brother Mario. His slight speed increase is nice, as is the weight added, but it isn’t enough to make up for the fact that he has little else going for him. Avoid Luigi; use Mario or someone else instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Peach Bonuses: Speed +3% Acceleration +7% Drift +7% Analysis: As well as a minor speed increase, Peach also gets a lot more acceleration and drifting ability too. Ultimately, this drift isn’t very useful if you prefer conventional turning though. Overall, Peach is a good character to pick if you’re a beginner because of her increases speed and acceleration. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Daisy Bonuses: Speed +6% Handling +4% Mini-Turbo +4% Analysis: Daisy’s bonuses are surprisingly varied. She gets a lot of extra speed, but at the same time a small increase in handling skills. She also gets a mini-turbo bonus, which comes in handy if you choose manual over automatic. Daisy is for those of you who like to have some extra speed to your vehicle. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Yoshi Bonuses: Weight +4% Drift +4% Off-Road +7% Analysis: Yoshi is a bit like Toadette, except slightly better. His off-road is helpful for beginners, and his drift increase can be quite helpful. His weight doesn’t really make much difference really. Yoshi might be an OK choice, but I generally prefer Daisy or Peach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Birdo Bonuses: Weight +4% Off-Road +4% Mini-Turbo +7% Analysis: I really like the mini-turbo bonus Birdo gets. Otherwise, Birdo is quite similar to Yoshi really, what with the weight and off-road increases she gets. Birdo is pretty good; I would recommend it if you use mini-turbos a lot and at the same time like some extra weight. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Diddy Kong Bonuses: Acceleration +4% Drift +4% Mini-Turbo +7% Analysis: He has the same mini-turbo increase as Birdo, and he also gets extra acceleration and drifting. The bonus acceleration can be helpful against item- friendly opponents, especially if you’re using a vehicle with low acceleration. The drift increase is also very nice, which essentially makes spamming mini-turbos on corners a piece of cake with the right vehicle. Overall, Diddy Kong is worth playing as; one of the better medium weight characters in my opinion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Bowser Jr. Bonuses: Off-Road +4% Mini-Turbo +4% Analysis: Oh dear. Bowser Jr. is definitely the worst of all the medium characters. In fact, he gets far less bonuses to his stats than any other character in the entire game, let alone amongst the medium class. Although the bonuses he has can be a minor help, he has so few of them that it’s pathetic. Avoid Bowser Jr. for sure. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Mii (Medium) Bonuses: Speed +3% Weight +4% Off-Road +4% Mini-Turbo +4% Analysis: This is a bit more like it. As well as getting increases in off-road and mini-turbos, the Mii also gets some extra weight, and it even gets a minor speed to help. However, although it is well balanced in its extra attributes, it still isn’t as good as some of the others. Still, it’s at least worth a try, and I use it because that’s the class my Mii comes under. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 5c) Heavy characters Name: Wario Bonuses: Weight +4% Off-Road +4% Mini-Turbo +8% Analysis: This is an interesting one. The off-road can be helpful if you’re a beginner or on an off-road course (though really I don’t think beginners should even be playing with many of the heavy vehicles). The extra weight that he gets makes little difference, because he’ll outweigh all light and medium vehicles anyway. The highlight of Wario is his immense mini-turbo bonus; one of the best in the game. Use him if you like to use drift turbos a lot. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Waluigi Bonuses: Acceleration +7% Drift +7% Off-Road +4% Analysis: Waluigi is quite possibly the best heavy character in the game. He gets a decent off-road bonus, but that’s hardly the bets of his attributes. He also gets a lot of extra acceleration, which is a great help, since many heavy vehicles have low acceleration. And it has extra drift abilities too, which is useful for spamming drift turbos on turns. Waluigi is definitely a great choice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Donkey Kong Bonuses: Weight +4% Acceleration +3% Handling +3% Mini-Turbo +4% Analysis: Well, his increases in stats are quite minor, but they’re also very varied, and his acceleration and mini-turbo increases are very helpful for the ‘average’ heavy vehicle. The handling can also be useful, as can the extra weight. Donkey Kong might well be the right choice for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Bowser Bonuses: Speed +3% Weight +8% Drift +4% Analysis: Bowser is easily the heaviest character of them all, which is helpful against other heavy characters. He also gets some extra speed and drift ratings, which seems to go hand in hand with what most of the heavy vehicles are like. Bowser is a definite yes if you like to be the heaviest of the crowd. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: King Boo Bonuses: Handling +7% Off-Road +4% Analysis: Like quite a few other heavy characters, he gets a slight off-road increase. But his handling bonus is definitely what makes King Boo stand out. However, since most of the heavy vehicles rely on drifting rather than turning, this may be of limited usefulness. Only use him if you pick one of the better handling vehicles. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Rosalina Bonuses: Speed +3% Handling +3% Mini-Turbo +4% Analysis: With her extra speed and mini-turbo ability, Rosalina seems to be all about the speed. She also gets a mild handling increase as well, but as has already been discussed this may not help much. If you like speed and use manual rather than automatic, Rosalina could be a good choice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Funky Kong Bonuses: Speed +6% Off-Road +4% Analysis: Funky Kong seems to get used a lot online, and with good reason. I mean, look at the extra speed he gets. Combine this with a really fast vehicle, and you’ll be the fastest guy on the track. And in case you missed a turn, he can help you to recover. Definitely pick him if you like lots of speed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Dry Bowser Bonuses: Off-Road +8% Mini-Turbo +8% Analysis: This is an interesting one. He gets a massive increase on off-road and mini-turbos, which is extremely helpful, since most heavy vehicles have low off-road ratings, and also he’s good for using mini-turbos on corners. Dry Bowser is one of the best of the lot. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Mii (Large) Bonuses: Speed +3% Acceleration +3% Handling +3% Drift +4% Analysis: The Mii gives you minor but varied increases in stats. You get extra speed, acceleration, handling and drift all in one, which isn’t bad at all. It’s a lot less extreme, and it’s godo at the same time. You should consider trying out this Mii. It's why Gamefaqs exists.

I'd probably spend about 10 hours figuring who's the best statwise, then go with baby Luigi or Luigi just cause they're the best. Or maybe a Mii.

You can change the Mii to whatever you want small, medium or large by just changing the Mii's weight... Also I personally use the Medium Mii with the Match Bike on manual drift... I'm so bold!
