A good bit. Heavy character with emphasis on speed over acceleration is a popular one. Try experimenting with a kart setup you like.

Yeah, I've always defaulted to smaller characters as I like the feeling of immediate progress as they accelerate, but last night I found myself being shunted to the side (and in several instances off the track) more times than I would have liked.

I feel like such a fool for not realising that your character/kart setup actually alters the way the game plays! :fp:

Going to try and put some more time practicing in to this ready for the next MK Monday!

Don't forget Jazzem has the advantage of being a dirty cheating motorbike banana split ;)

:lol:

Your set up will also affect handling. I've seen a few people over the years get all salty about being a heavy character (Stay Dead mainly) then try it and fail because they cant control it so well. Then I'd switch to my yellow Shy Guy to prove a point and the salty tears drowned them into silence.

The handling is so obviously better on sports bikes. Don't know how you guys can drive karts. They're so floaty and, just... shite.

No show for me either tonight I’m afraid.

I was partying in Berlin yesterday until 5am in the morning, had a full-on day at work today, and the stress and rage of karting would tip me over the edge!!!

Will be back next week :)
