So on a website I found the stats of the Barrel Train and The parade kart, and both karts get 30 frames of mini turbo. Both of them have 4 star speed, but the parade kart has an additional star on both acceleration and weight. I would like to know what exactly makes the Barrel Train superior to the Parade Kart.

Barrel Train is a Light kart while the Parade Kart is Heavy. Barrel Train loses much less speed on off road than Parade Kart making Barrel Train the king.

Thanks for response. Diving into double dash as soon as I get it and have time (In around 2 weeks) and saw stats when studying up for the game and was confused.

The in-game stats are a very vague representation of what the actual stats are. If you want to see actual data, check here: https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart:_Double_Dash!!

Parade kart has less top speed, higher acceleration (which is bad for a-tech), and way worse offroad

Just trust that barrel train is the best lol
