Mario Kart 8 Build Optimizer Helps You Find the Perfect Combination of Vehicle Parts

July 7, 2014 by Tony Ponce

Select the stats you wish to prioritize to sort a list of riders and vehicles that best meet your preference.

Mario Kart 8 has sold through 2 million copies in a single month and shows no signs of slowing. That means online races are guaranteed to be pretty packed. But even though you may have dominated every track on every engine class in the single-player campaign, you may find yourself at the mercy of online opponents with far more skill than you. If you want to improve your chances of victory, you'll need to find the right ride for the task.

Enter the Mario Kart 8 Build Optimizer, a web tool developed by reddit user frivolousTimewaster. By selecting which combination of stats  — speed, acceleration, weight, handling, traction, and mini-turbo — you wish to prioritize then clicking the "sort!" button, you'll be presented with a list of rider and vehicle combinations that best optimize those stats. For example, if you want the best speed and handling possible, you'll want to select Iggy as your driver and the Comet bike with Slick tires as your ride.

The tool is constantly being tweaked, and there are plans to make it mobile-friendly. If this helps you improve your game, it can only mean good things. Except for the poor chumps who don't know of its existence — they're pretty much toast by now.
