Introduction

Mario Kart is known for its competitive gameplay action and is counted as one of the greatest kart racing games of all time that comes with a huge choice inventory of vehicle customization. Players can make hundreds of vehicle combinations by choosing the tires, gliders, karts, and avatars as well.

Why Do I Need to Know About Customization Combinations?

For newcomers, this range of customization options can startle them into making a perfect kart and that is why in this guide, we have assembled some great combinations. While tinkering with different kart combinations in Maria Kart 8, consider keeping a tab on five important stats that can work great if put together in the right manner. They are Acceleration, Handling, Speed, Weight, and Traction.

At times, it is all about speed in Mario Kart 8, but continue reading the best combinations we have collected for you. In Mario Kart 8, heavy characters hold the slowest acceleration stat but they also hold the high-speed stat too. That is why we would suggest that while setting up the karts, choose heavy characters.

Another important fact to keep a check on is, there are no gliders that enhance the speed stat in the game but there are some of them that can actually decrease it. Following are some of the fastest Mario Kart 8 customizations.

Donkey Kong, B Dasher Kart, Triforce Tires, and Super Glider

The second peak speed avatar is Donkey Kong and when it is placed in combination with B Dasher kart, Triforce Tires, and the Super Glider in Mario Kart 8, this avatar can be outstandingly fast. The traction is also supported by the Triforce tires, which support this heavy character exceptionally.

On top of that, by choosing a default glider the kart can be saved from high-speed penalties that other gliders have to pay. With this setup, Donkey Kong can reach up to 5.25 speed which is remarkable.

Roy, Standard ATV Kart, Gold Tires, and Plane Glider

Roy keeps the second peak possible base speed almost like Donkey Kong, and if put in a perfect setup, this avatar can be very swift. The Standard ATV Kart and Gold Tires give this avatar a firm speed but with a slight compromise on Acceleration and Handling.

By adding Plane Glider, the Traction for Roy elevates but it also adds up to his load. Overall, this combination is a great build that can attain a maximum pace of 5.5. This pace makes this combination one of the finest Mario Karts.

Baby Daisy, Biddybuggy, Roller, and Cloud Glider

This is quite an unusual mixture when looking up for high pace, but remember that kart’s pace is not entirely dependent on the speed stat to make it to the finish line. Acceleration also has a significant role in that too and in this combination, Baby Daisy sticks to that.

In a normal setup, with a speed of 0.75 speed this avatar can be disastrous but with an acceleration of 5.5, it can turn out to be very useful on 150cc or 200cc. With 150cc or 200cc speed can high speed can easily become a drawback and recover from mistakes becomes more important.

Wario, Circuit Special Kart, Metal Tires, and Wario Wing

In Mario Kart 8, Wario has the highest possible avatar speed which makes him a highly demanded avatar while putting together a high-speed kart setup. By bringing together Circuit Special Kart and the Metal Tires, the combination adds up a bonus 1.0 speed to the build but impacts the Acceleration, Handling, and Traction.

Wario Wing gives an iconic final touch to this configuration and the setup’s overall speed jumps up to a maximum of 5.75. That makes it the fastest setup in Mario Kart 8, but beware as high speed comes with a high threat as well. With high speed, racers have to deal with the compromised Handling stat.

Bowser, P-Wing Kart, Kart Gold Tires, and Hylian Kite

The heaviest avatar of Mario Kart 8 is Bowser but is not only the heaviest but also the fastest as well. Assembling the 4.75 default base speed of this avatar with the P-Wing Kart and the Kart Gold Tires, the configuration climbs up to the speed of 5.75 which is the highest.

Further adding Hylian Kite makes sure that the avatar is not compromising speed for the glider without adding up any unnecessary weight that can result in a disaster for the whole build.

Morton, P-Wing Kart, Cyber Slick Tires, and Waddle Wing

Morton also belongs to the heavy and fastest avatar category among Bowser and Wario in Mario Kart 8. The overall speed of this configuration is the finest and the reduction in other stats due to P-Wing can be ignored for it.

Assembled with the Cyber Slick Tires, this avatar’s speed rises to the maximum limit of 5.75, and by putting Waddle Wing Glider the whole setup does not gain any extra mass and hence the speed is not at all compromised.

Mostly Morton is chosen very less often in Mario Kart as compared to the other avatars in Mario Kart 8, although this is a potentially very great character that players must consider while configuring their builds in the game.

Dry Bowser, Mercedes GLA, Slick Tires, and Hylian Kite

As compared to the rest of the avatars in the game, Dry Bowser is slightly lighter but it holds a high base speed of 4.75. Further, the Slick Tires and the ravishing-looking Mercedes GLA push Dry Bowser to attain a high 5.75 maximum pace.

Initially, free Mercedes in Mario Kart DLC was shrugged was looked down upon by many players by thinking of it as an evident product advertisement. But the new extended kart version in that update really helped the avatars in the game.

Baby Daisy, Pipe Frame, Standard Tires, and Wario Wing

Another great configuration Mario Kart 8 builds is this one that does not entirely focus on attaining high speed for avatars. On the contrary, it brings attention to Acceleration and Handling. There is a high probability that other heavy-weight avatars like Wario, Pink, and Gold Peach be going for laps as compared to this lightweight combination, this assemblage is a better choice to consider at 200cc.

Bowser, Badwagon Kart, Cyber Slick Tires, and Super Glider

Bowser is considered to be the most dominant antagonist of the Mario Franchise and its mere presence makes the build fastest in Mario Kart 8. When combined with Badwagon Kart and the Cyber Slick Tires, the speed of this build touches a maximum pace of 5.75.

Furthermore, adding up the default Super Glider guarantees that the avatar does not lose on other stats to keep up this high speed. Bowser is not only the most dominant antagonist but also appears as the swiftest adversary to deal with, in Mario Kart 8.

Morton, Circuit Special Kart, Slick Tires, and Plane Glider

Morton’s high pace of 4.75 can turn out to be a lethal combination if joined with Circuit Special Kart and the Slick Tires raising the speed to 5.75. Although this setup lacks serious Acceleration and Traction, it can be managed at the price of High speed.

Pro Kart Racers who can keep hold of their maximum pace can make the best out of this setup. That being stated, this assembly becomes unstoppable on 200cc making it the outré-fast kart configuration in Mario Kart 8 installment inventory.

Bowser, Landship, Standard Tires, and Cloud Glider

By comparing the rest of Bowser’s setups that stick to the high-speed stat, this setup is can be taken as the Master of All. This heavy-weight kart balances a slightly high pace of 4 without losing hold on Acceleration and Handling. With a starting 3.75 Acceleration and a bit robust Handling stat at 2.75, this avatar would not be counted as slow as per the expectations.

This build takes advantage of a much more controllable speed as compared to the rest of the configurations that make mistakes by keeping their entire emphasis on the speed stat, compromising the rest.

Wario, Mercedes GLA, Kart Gold Tires, and Wario Wings

The high base pace of Wario at 4.75 when assembled with the Legendary Mercedes GLA and the Kart Gold Tires can bring a huge advantage for the racers looking for high speed. This avatar paces to the peak 5.75 speed compromising the Acceleration greatly. This can bring huge damage if confronted with unwanted chaotic circumstances.

However, the Mercedes GLA brings a good deal of elevated Handling stat and less weightage in comparison to the other high-pacer karts in Mario Kart 8. The stats work well in the favor of the players as far as they are good at dealing with maximum speed, making this as one of the great Mario Kart 8 configurations.

Dry Bowser, B Dasher Kart, Metal Tires, and Gold Glider

As from the heavy-weight avatar category as Morton and Bowser, Dry Bowser is great at maintaining the same pace as them with the additional advantage of being lightweight. Gathering it with B Dasher Kart and the Metal Wires guarantees that Dry Bowser would attain a cap speed of 5.75.

If the racer handles to reach afar by attaining a high pace while also dealing with the Mario Kart Items, which can be very annoying, like fake Item boxes, Blue Shells, and bananas, success is almost ensured. Adding further up, Gold Glider allows Dry Bowser to look ravishing while winning the race.
