I think lightweights were viable anyway. I was certainly able to race with very respectable results in good rooms with them. Sure, they might be technically inferior but the difference is much smaller than it has been in past games. I've always liked to use Koopa but I won't lie, in MKWii it definitely cost me a lot of races to use him. In MK7 and MK8 Koopa has been far more competitive. The control around corners and of course the acceleration can be really useful in race situations. Also, many players online tend to ignore coins and if you can gather up 10 on your first lap you can end up with a nice top speed for the rest of the race to go with your good acceleration and handling.
It's nice that 200cc perhaps even makes the light characters a superior option, but honestly, I'm likely to stick to 150cc for online racing as I usually just race in Worldwide. Could be useful for those times I do enter 200cc competitions though.
