13 Fastest Mario Kart 8 Setups

screenrant.com:

has become one of the best kart racing games of all time, and this eighth entry in the series has been around in some form for a decade. The game offers a huge selection of customization options for players to choose from to get the fastest runs possible on each track. Racers, karts, tires, and gliders can all be mixed and matched, and each changes the stats that will be used in the race itself.

In, it is important to pay attention to how the stats of speed, acceleration, weight, handling, and traction all work together. Getting the speediest setup depends on each portion, not simply the kart alone. This includes the character choice, as the heavy characters can weigh down karts, providing a slow acceleration, but ultimately, they also have the highest top speed when unimpeded. Thus, when looking for the best setups, heavy characters are preferred. In addition, while there are no gliders that increase speed, there are some to be aware of that reduce it.

Donkey Kong has the second-highest base speed of all characters, as long as the player is adept at not hitting any obstacles. As one of the heavy class characters, he has a very slow acceleration stat, but then can reach exceptionally high speeds once he gets moving.

Combining the B Dasher kart, the Triforce tires, and the Super Glider, his stats all balance out to create a fast kart that isn't horrible with handling, mostly thanks to the Triforce tires, which can help some with grip. Though it can seem more boring, the default glider is preferred so that the kart's speed will not suffer from the penalties other gliders have.
