Hey everyone! I'm pretty knew to speedrunning this game and i would like to know whats the best kart selection for speedrunning.Tell me you mainly prefer to help me out anyways i would love plz bye.

I wrote a guide on kart building for 150cc; you can find it on this site. 200cc works a little differently, and I’ll let someone who specializes in that mode answer you if you’re looking for that.

Thanks man it really means alot i play on cartridge so i have to shace off 3 secs on every track to get a wr time so i want to find thebest kart customize for speedrun so thanks alot.

It's not exactly 3 seconds for each track

What you want is: Weight, Acceleration, Handling, and Traction. Lighter racers get pushed over easier, so choose someone like like Wario, Dry Bowser, and King Boo. Acceleration is obvious, you start faster. Handling keeps you on track and traction helps with Acceleraton. Hope I helped.

A small addendum: the Traction stat shows how well the vehicle's grasp is. The lower the stat, the more slippery your vehicle becomes while riding over rough terrain, and the more speed you lose while performing most turns. Examples of tracks with a lot of rough terrain include: GCN Sherbet Land, GCN Dry Dry Desert, Cheese Land and Ice Ice Outpost (weak effect). In most other tracks, especially paved roads, Traction is fairly insignificant.

For combos, the basis of combo building is knowing that, in Deluxe, Kart parts that offer Speed have been nerfed a fair bit while Mini-Turbos got buffed. Because of that, heavyweights, who have among the highest natural Speed stat at no major costs, when coupled with parts that increase their acceleration, handling and MT power (their weakest stats), end up being the dominant force in most tracks.

It doesn't mean you can't experiment around with stuff, though! A lot of things work fairly well in the Switch version. The trend tends to change in 200cc every now and then.
