Conclusion

Toad > Yoshi > Peach > Bowser > Wario > Donkey Kong > Luigi > Mario

Toad has the fastest Triple Tapping A ability and Mario is the worst but however Mario/Luigi has better handling & off road acceleration than Bowser.

• Donkey Kong and Wario has slower speed than Bowser and Luigi

---

Toad = Yoshi = Peach > Bowser = Mario > Luigi > Wario = DK

The Lightweights are more useful on shortcuts, Bowser and Mario are mostly for occasions, and Luigi is more useful than DK and Wario. However, some karters achieve flap WRs SC (Wario Stadium mostly) using Bowser.

• Donkey Kong, Wario, and Luigi are for challenges and battle mode tournaments only.
