Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is getting pretty long-in-the-tooth, but doesn’t stop this early Nintendo Switch release regularly topping sales charts around the world. The additions brought by the ongoing Booster Course Pass DLCs have revitalised the game, and also the online competition. So to get the edge, you’ll be wanting to know which are the best karts in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Chit Hot has you covered, for this and may more ways to give you that competitive edge!
How do I choose the best character in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Choosing the best character in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe depends largely on your play style. Some players prefer tight cornering or better acceleration. Some would prefer better special weapons, or tight air controls. Others are simply looking for a best top speed. If you’re in the latter camp, then…
The fastest characters in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are…
The fastest characters in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are the Heavy category. Wario, Dry Bowser, Bowser, Morton and Mii (H) are all in the Heavy category, and therefor are the fastest. However, they are significantly weaker in other areas, such as acceleration.
The slowest characters are the Featherweight category. Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina and Lenny. Slightly faster are Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Dry Bones and Mii (L). They do of course have benefits in other areas, such as acceleration and handling.

What is the Best Combo in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Much like your preference of character, the best combo of kart and character in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe depends on your play style. At present, there’s one combo that’s standing out in internet discussions.
Waluigi Wiggler Combo
This combo is currently dominating Mario Kart 8 Deluxe due to its speed off drifts, quicker acceleration and a decent top speed.
- Waluigi + Wild Wiggler + Roller+ Any Glider.
However, there are a number of other combinations that rank highly due to their speed:
- Bowser + Circuit Special + Slick + Super Glider.
- Dry Bowser + Badwagon + Metal + Waddle Wing.
- Morton + Standard ATV Kart + Cyber Slick + Plane Glider.
- Wario + GLA + Gold Tires + Wario Wing.
Which Mini-Turbo is Best for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 150cc?
The mini-turbo is a technique you’ll need to master to take on the highest difficulty settings in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The following are some of the best kart combos for 150cc in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:
- Dry Bones Mini-Turbo: Dry Bones + Mr. Scooty + Wooden + Cloud Glider.
- Wario Speed Build: Wario +Circuit Special + Metal Tires + Wario Wings.
- Dry Bowser Speed Build: Dry Bowser + B-Dasher + Crimson Slim + Cloud Glider.
The Dry Bones Mini-Turbo combo is focused on maximising your mini-turbo when you hit ramps or drift across those corners. Both the Wario Speed Build and Dry Bowser Speed Build work well in 150cc, but may not deliver the same boost when executing the mini-turbo.
