    Using Funky Kong with the original fastest setup is the same speed making him the fastest I think

      @@Sersun Yee I love yoshi on either yoshi bike or teddy buggy.
      The combo has the highest mini turbo and these have the same stats but different drift styles. I sometimes just pick yoshi bike because it fits yoshi well

      @RogueApple327 6 месяцев назад

      Speed is actually less important than mini turbo which is a hidden stat that decides how fast mini turbos are charged, how fast you go while using them, and how long the boost lasts. Yoshi on teddy buggy is the best combo because it has a lot of mini turbo and speed which are the two most important stats.

    I love watching your videos but I think Funky Kong is the new meta in Mario kart 8 deluxe because if you put him with Wild wiggler the GLA tires and the cloud glider all of the stats are perfectly balanced with the handling being not the best making him the best character to use in Mario kart 8 deluxe right but that’s my thoughts on the new meta in Mario kart 8 deluxe

    • @elisevanbeethoven

      No. That has poor Mini-Turbo, and poor handling. That means he won't be able to keep up to any of the mid-weight characters.

    No. Funky stats match Wario and Dry Bowser. They weigh 4.25. The next up is Petey Pirhana who is the same stats as the metal characters except he's in a large vehicle. They weigh 4.5. Bowser and Mortan are the super heavy stats as they weigh 4.5. If you're wondering about the other heavies, then Roy, Waluigi, Donkey Kong and Wiggler weigh 4.0. Wiggler just uses a medium kart. Rosalina, King Boo and Pauline use the large kart as well but I cannot remember if they are 3.75 or 4.0 in weight.
