    > You probably won't pick a driver sitting on the edge of the frontier because you want some balance between speed and acceleration

    for super mario kart speedruns go with bowser&#x2F;dk: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.speedrun.com&#x2F;smk&#x2F;runs&#x2F;zp68nr8m" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.speedrun.com&#x2F;smk&#x2F;runs&#x2F;zp68nr8m

    That seemed to hold up for Mario Kart 8 too going with Bowser at the edge of their pareto frontier, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.speedrun.com&#x2F;mk8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.speedrun.com&#x2F;mk8

    needing acceleration is a skill issue

      On the other hand, if you are a casual and want to dominate 99% races you enter at people&#x27;s homes, pick Toadette (with Mr. Scooty). I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve lost since 2019.
