Acceleration doesn't matter. If it did, heavies wouldn't dominate in every match.


Yeah that's why heavys dominated that race in the OP... oh wait!


There was only one heavy and he didn't have an optimal kart. It is clear there were no skilled players there. Surely you must have noticed that the top 5 is almost always 5 rosalinas and that is only because people like her more than guy like bowser or morton.

Firstly Rosalina is indeed part of a heavy weight group sub-category, secondly there is no one optimal kart, and lastly and most importantly, player skill has nothing to do with what combo they use. The better players are gonna beat the lesser players more often than not regardless of their combos, just as it should be! Also I've seen all different kinds of characters and vehicles topping, including myself with Lakitu, Daisy, and occasionally Yoshi!

Rosalina is part of the cruiser weight class in between metals and the normal weight along with DK,Waluigi , and Roy. The Heavies are Bowser, Morton, and Wario. Yes there are optimal setups because if you try and go for an acceleration based setup, you end up with both less acceleration and less speed than a cruiser setup towards speed. Obviously inferior. If two players that know how to get the best speed out of a track race and they get the same item in the first item grab, The one with the higher top speed will quickly be out of reach. A heavy player that knows what they are doing is only threatened by another heavy.
