Mario Kart is one of the most fun racing games. It is fast-paced and quite competitive, and the best part is that it is a spin-off from one of the best video game series ever! There are several downloadable contents available that players can access from Switch Online Expansion Pass. With a fully packed roster, there are many ways to experience the game.

What is Mario Kart 8?

Mario Kart 8 is a racing game featuring characters from Mario! This is easily one of the best kart racing games of all time, as it has been in the top game sales charts. In this game, players must track all five stats—speed, acceleration, weight, handling, and traction—however, it's all about speed. Players can customize their vehicle by changing the tires, kart, glider, and character.

What are some of the best karts in Mario Kart 8?

Some of the best karts in Mario Kart are listed below:

Link And The Triforce Trifecta

Link is an unexpected newcomer to Mario Kart, given how long he's been a Nintendo icon, going back to Super Smash Bros. Melee and Diddy Kong. He's nearly unstoppable driving the Master Cycle, Triforce Tires, and the Hylian Kite.

All Gold Everything

The obvious pick in the Gold Kart is Gold Mario. Gold Mario, with the matching Kart, wheels, and glider, will need a significant amount of gameplay, but the combo is well worth the time and effort due to its high speed and precise control. After all, why shouldn't the most difficult-to-unlock combo be one of the best?

Big Ape On A Little Scooter

If you have the immense weight of Donkey Kong, then the best vehicle for you is a lightweight scooter like Mr. Scooty. As the name suggests, it's a big ape on a little scooter. Adding the Monster tires helps even out your numbers and makes it much easier to see where you’re going.

Yoshi With The Standard Bike

Yoshi on the Standard Bike is still a powerful pairing. The speed is a touch low, but adding the Waddle Wing glider raises your speed to a much more comfortable level while maintaining the bike's weight where it should be.

Isabelle In The Shoe

The City Tripper bike leaves something to be desired, but Isabelle looks downright adorable. The Sneaker is a giant shoe with wheels. Superb handling and acceleration make the car lack speed, while the Flower Glider gives you more traction.
