Mario Kart 8 deluxe brought a lot of new
things to the table one of those things
being that you can customize your cart
with a vast amount of parts each with
their own unique statistics and Astra
buttes these include speed acceleration
handling weight traction and mini turbo
I'm sure with this addition many people
wonder what the best combination in the
game is and that's what I'm gonna be
talking about today hey everybody I'm
Rainbow Road gaming and let's get right
into this the concept of vehicle
customization was first featured in
Mario Kart 7 and it was then used again
in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 deluxe
at first it might seem obvious that the
stats with the fastest parts would be
the best and this was the case in Mario
Kart 8 for the most part but there was a
big change in Mario Kart 8 deluxe which
made speed a fairly unimportant stat for
your combination parts that have high
speed don't usually come with many other
perks but this was okay Mario Kart 8
because of a technique called fire
hopping fire hopping is a process in
which you jump back and forth after a
drift or boost to elongate the speed
boost this meant that after a drift even
though the boost you got shouldn't last
that long because of how low the mini
turbo stat is on the parts you can still
get a long boost from it however in
Mario Kart 8 deluxe this feature or a
glitch I kind of doubt it was intended
well whatever fire happened was it was a
remove and this changed everything
previously speed could take priority
over everything and you could still get
a long boost from a mini turbo but since
fire hopping was removed this now made
mini turbo the most important stat if
you don't quite understand what I'm
saying let me explain a little more
speed is important but Mario Kart is all
about twists and turns throughout crazy
courses so assuming that you drift
through all these turns you'll be
getting a lot of mini turbo boosts which
brings you to a speed much greater than
even the top speed of the fastest
combination and all that speed added up
makes for a much faster time in the end
so clearly mini turbo is the most
important stat usually even sacrificing
all speed to get high mini turbo is
worth it
but what sets are the most important
after mini turbo this is a little hard
to decide but I would probably say that
handling would be second traction would
be third and speed would be fourth also
one other major change that was made
Mario Kart 8 deluxe was a change in the
stats themself for example in Mario Kart
8 the Mach 8 was one of the fastest
carts in the game but in Mario Kart 8
deluxe its speed satis only average so
if you think you know stats because he
knew them in my Achra date you would be
wrong so for the actual ranking process
of each of the carts and wheels I'll be
doing it in a tearless style format that
means that the worst ones will be F tier
and the best ones will be asked here and
everything in between is everything in
between
also many of the car parts have the same
stats so I'll be grouping them together
as the same vehicle let's get started
first off I'll start with the wheels and
here we are with the surprising amount
in F tier in F tier we have the groups
of slick cyber slick and metal and gold
these two groups have different stats
but are very similar their similarities
include not really having any good stats
they're the fastest wheels in the game
but both are completely lacking in many
terrible and really all other important
stats and that's why they are at the
bottom of this list next we're at D tier
first off in DS here we have the monster
and hot monster wheels usually the
wheels this low down are fast and
lacking into mini turbo however these
aren't very fast and they don't have
very good mini turbo the only reason
these aren't in F tiers because they
have the best traction in the game but
not much else
next we have the group with the Triforce
off-road and retro off-road wheels once
again we have some heavily speed
oriented wheels with few other good
stats but these are a little bit higher
than Monster and slick wheels because
they have good traction and slightly
better handling than those below them on
the list in C tier we have one group and
it's what you would expect we have
standard blue standard and GLA tires
these are all just average they don't
really have any good stats but they
don't have any bad stats so I think
they're very deserving of their spot in
dear now we're getting into beach here
first often beach here we have slim
crimson slim and wood wheels these are
an interesting choice for b-tier because
they're a little below average when it
comes to mini turbo but they do have
decent speed especially when it comes to
antigravity and surprisingly have some
of the best handling stats in the game
they're lacking in mini turbo and
traction however which is what keeps
them from being higher on the list next
up in beats here we have sponge and
cushion wheels these wheels immediately
get a high spawned list just for having
above-average mini turbo in traction
although they are still in beats here
which means they don't have much else to
offer they're slow as you would expect
but they don't have good handling which
is not expected from wheels that have
good mini turbo and that's why they're
only in beats here here we are an 8 here
from here on are really the only wheels
out actually recommend using the only
wheels and a TR leaf and button tires
they're here purely because they have a
very good mini turbo stat and very good
handling they're not very fast but the
mini turbo and handling more than make
up for it now here we are in the final
tier and the wheels that are in this
teeler are by far the best in the game I
personally rarely use anything besides
them
we have roller and as your roller wheels
this is because they have the best
marine turbo in the game by far the best
handling in the game and even have
pretty good traction in underwater speed
as well you could pretty much use these
wheels with any cart in the game and it
would at least be decent next I'll be
ranking the main cart and bike bodies in
the game which I'll be covering in a
little more detail than I did with the
wheels so here we are starting us off an
F tier there's only one group of
vehicles and F tier and this is the
group with the bad wagon GLA and
standard ATV if you didn't know that
speed wasn't important you might think
that these were pretty good because they
have a very high speed stat but that's
pretty much it not even mentioned it yet
but there are four types of speed ground
speed water speed air speed and
anti-gravity speed this also applies to
handling as well and this group only
even has good speed set in the ground
speed not to mention has an absolutely
terrible mini turbo stat
the only other decent stat this vehicle
has is its traction but it is
unfortunately lacking in every other
area now that we're done with EFT here
we can move on to deeds here first off
in deeds here we have the B - er circus
special and p-wing these carts also have
a great speed set but are lacking and
pretty much everywhere else just like
the previous one the only reason these
carts aren't in F tiers because they
have some handling stats and a little
bit of mini turbo unlike the F tier
carts it's too bad these cards aren't
very good because they're some of the
most well designed cards in the game and
I love that the B - er keeps making a
comeback it's a nice acknowledgment to
Mario Kart DS next up we have the steel
driver tri speeder and bone rattler
these carts are in a very similar
situation as the last one and they're
very fast but they don't have much else
going for them however I have them one
spot ahead because they have a slightly
better mini turbo stat and actually have
a really good underwater handling stat
but other than that they're pretty
lacking congratulations we've gotten
past all of the completely garbage
vehicles everything from here on is at
least decent first often seats here we
have the gold standard sneaker and
master cycle so first of all the master
cycle has inside drifting so that means
it steers a little bit differently but
it still has all the same stats as the
other vehicles in its group and these
vehicles aren't bad but they're still at
the bottom of sea tier overall they're
pretty all-around vehicles but they're
just a bit lacking when it comes to
handling in mini turbo nowhere near as
lacking as F and D tiers though they do
have a pretty good speed stat however
and could easily be a very good choice
if used with roller wheels next we have
the Duke standard car in the 300sl
roadster these are just your basic
average karts nothing that really sets
them apart from the rest but nothing
that makes them a bad choice that's
really all there is to say about these
finally in C tier we have the Prancer
sport bike and jet bike there Mirnyi
turbo stat is a little below par but
they still have great handling and above
average speed they're very similar to
the previous group but I decided to put
them a
just because they have a little more to
offer the sport bike and jet bike are
both inside drifting just for your
information but these karts are
definitely good choices but due to their
low mini turbo I recommend using roller
wheels with these if you do choose them
now we're definitely starting to get
above average and I would definitely
recommend using any of these cards in
b-tier and beyond also b-tier is
actually pretty small and it kind of
feels weird making it like this but
that's just because of how many cards I
think deserve to be in a tier first off
we have the Tanooki cart and Koopa clown
car now these are some of the weirdest
karts in the game they may seem bad at
first because they're lacking in both
speed and mini turbo because most cards
usually have one or the other so first
they may seem bad but they make up for
it with decent handling and water speed
and also the best fraction stat in the
game
this means that it makes your karts
slide on the ground less and the
traction also makes these karts easy to
use especially if you want to use a
heavier faster character with it overall
this is a pretty interesting set of
stats and they can be good if used with
the right wheels which I definitely
recommend using roller for next we have
the Blue Falcon and splat buggy these
cards still don't have great mini turbo
stats but they have an above average
speed stat and this seems pretty average
at first but these karts are actually
used for a few time trail world records
and this is for a few reasons first of
all they have great speed and handling
on anti-gravity sections and are the
only cards with above-average speed that
actually have good handling and traction
this makes them a good choice for
certain courses that are a little more
reliant on speed now we're in the a tier
so all of these cards are very good and
I highly recommend any of these cards
let's start off with our first group
with the cat Cruiser comet
Yoshi bike and Teddy buggy up until this
point no the cards have had an
above-average mini turbo stat and from
this point on they all do which is the
main reason why all of the a tier cards
are a Tier these karts have an
above-average mini turbo stats which
alone makes them a good choice but they
also have pretty good handling and
traction which are also good things to
have
but they're at the bottom of a tear
because besides they're great mini turbo
they don't have many other good
strengths which makes them slightly
inferior to the carts above them another
thing to bring up is that the comment
and Yoshi bike are both inside drifting
bikes and because of their good mini
turbo stat that makes them probably the
best inside drifting bikes to use in the
game if you prefer that style now we're
entering the top 5 vehicle groups which
doesn't mean much but it's a good
indicator of which karts are truly the
best starting us off in the top five we
have the group with the Mach 8 sports
coupe and Inc striker these are kind of
an interesting choice for the top 5
because their main turbo and ground
speed are pretty average but they make
up for it with other spectacular stats
first of all they're the fastest karts
on anti-gravity in the game and that
SATA is perfectly complemented by the
fact that they also have a pretty
amazing anti-gravity handling stat not
to mention that they have pretty good
traction as well the reason this is also
good is because when they're used in
anti-gravity sections which many courses
have they don't need to sacrifice their
speed for handling your mini turbo
because they basically have high stats
and all of the important categories
these are carts that are all around
really good especially on predominantly
anti-gravity courses such as n64 Rainbow
Road and it's no surprise that they're
used for so many world records however
there's one more thing to bring up with
these vehicles and it's something you
haven't brought up with any other group
before which one is best in the group
they all have the same stats but there's
one more thing that can come into play
here hitboxes hitboxes don't usually
make much of a difference but they can
be very important in time trials maca is
used much more than the other two this
is because it is able to take slightly
better lines how because of a technique
where two to three of the wheels can be
hung off the edge of the course to take
the turn slightly tighter a strategy
that perfectly fits the mach aids hitbox
small differences like this won't make a
huge difference but it's something to
keep in mind however in races where
you're trying to not get hit by items
the ink striker may be a better choice
because it has this
smallest hitbox therefore it can get hit
less but once again these are only small
differences that really don't make much
of a difference now moving up to number
four the standard bike flame rider wild
wiggler and w25 Silver Arrow
these are karts that are lacking in very
few places they're a little on the slow
and when it comes to ground speed but
these karts excel when it comes to
antigravity speed handling traction and
mini turbo the reason these are so good
is just because they have all good stats
they're anti-gravity stats especially
make them a good choice for
predominantly anti-gravity courses that
might require a little more handling
making these a better choice than the
Mach eight group overall these karts
just have very good stats and can be a
great choice for any course these are
also especially good in 150cc I've been
mainly focusing on 200cc for this video
but if I was basing this on 150cc they
might be even higher on the list one
more thing about these ones is that much
like the last group I covered the wild
wiggler in Silver Arrow might be a
little better for that dangling strategy
I mentioned which also works off-road by
the way so they may be a more ideal
choice for time trials but the other two
have smaller hitboxes which helped them
in races but you can really use
whichever you want it really doesn't
matter that much now we're getting into
the S tier which means all of these are
basically the best but I have the rank
the three of them in order so let's get
on with number three at number three we
have the pipe frame varmint and city
tripper the only thing these are lacking
is speed and that's not an issue because
these cards have amazing handling
second-best in the game and amazing mini
turbo also second best in the game there
really isn't much more to explain about
these they're just amazingly fantastic
for any course once again though I'd
like to bring up that the varmint and
city tripper might be better for online
races because of their smaller hitboxes
which bikes tend to have compared to
karts but once again this barely matters
so you may have noticed I said the pipe
frame has the second best handling and
mini turbo in the game so why isn't it
and well because the street Allen
landship just barely seemed to edge out
the pipe frame group but honestly these
two groups could have gone either way
these two groups are very similar they
both have the same mini turbo which is
like I said the second best in the game
but the pipe frame just has a tiny bit
better handling but Street Hill has
other things to offer first of all it's
slow on the ground in down the
anti-gravity but it's fast underwater
like really fast underwater like fastest
in the game underwater which honestly
doesn't help on too many courses but
it's just really impressive and it also
has amazingly good traction the pipe
frame group also has good traction but
it's nothing compared to that of the
street all the strudels traction makes
it really easy to use on slippery
courses such as neo Bowser City or dry
dry desert but these two vehicle groups
really are very close and they could
have easily been a tie but I decided to
put the strudel and landship ahead also
Street Al's use a little bit more for
times trials because it has a better
hitbox but you can use either ok here we
are I've gone through a lot of work to
get here but here we are the best carts
in the game are the bitty buggy and mr.
scooty yup these two there's a slowest
and lightest in the game but as
previously established those stats don't
really matter because every other set
they have are way above average these
have the best mini turbo in the game the
best handling in the game and the best
acceleration the game and pretty good
traction and with that but traction is
definitely the least important of those
three so whatever these cars just have
all the best numbers in all of the most
important categories it definitely makes
sense that more than half of the time
trial' World Records use these and in
terms of which one is better
bitty buggies use more on time trials
because of the hitbox but mr. screw D
has the smallest hitbox in the game so
it's pretty much the best Kart for
racing or well I guess it's a bike I've
been calling everything at kart the
whole time but there's really no
difference whatsoever
Wow I'm done this video you took a lot
of effort so you may be wondering I
didn't really go over gliders and
characters so I'll just go over those
right now as far as gliders though they
really don't matter very much and when
choosing a combination technically the
parachute cloud flower and paper gliders
have the best stats but these really
don't matter very much and as for
characters it's really a preference
thing the lighter the characters are the
slower they go which does mean they have
better mini turbo but since the carts
you should already have should have good
mini turbo it's better to go with the
heavier faster characters but heavy
characters are also more difficult to
use so if you prefer to use the lighter
characters by all means use them like I
said characters are really all about
preference and if you're interested in
where I got all my information for this
video the meijer credit deluxe wiki is a
great resource for this but there are
many other websites to get stats for in
this game as well and I'll put a link in
the description for that website and
there we go the complete Mario Kart 8
deluxe tier list like and subscribe if
you enjoyed the video thanks for
watching I'll see you next time
