There are some cool things you can do if you go to the manual in the 3DS and look on page 5. It's best if you keep experimenting and find the one combo that will work best with your driving style. It also slightly hinders air speed and drift. The Gold Standard gives a slight boost in speed and weight, but slightly hinders the acceleration and off-road stats. For the Gold Standard kart body in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you’ll need to complete every Grand Prix in Mirror Mode with a star ranking.
Whereas most can be unlocked in a random order as the player collects coins, the gold kart parts require certain feats to be completed. It can be unlocked by earning 10000 VR in Wi-Fi races or, alternatively, by collecting 20,000 coins. The Gold Standard kart body certainly isnt easy to unlock. Like I said, though, results will vary from person to person. The Gold Standard debuts in Mario Kart 7 as an unlockable kart part. Golden Wheels - Beat every cup on 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and Mirror Mode and receive a minimum of 1 star ranking for each. One combination that I really like to drive with is with either Luigi or my Mii on a kart consisting of the Birthday Girl chassis, Red Monster wheels, and the Flower Glider. Another few determining factors include weight (usually the faster karts will be heavier) and handling (unless you plan on drifting on every turn, it shouldn't be that big a problem). If you want a kart with quick acceleration (great for recovery), don't expect to be able to keep up with the competition unless you have good tricks up your sleeve.īecause of these, I personally like to go for the more balanced karts, where speed and acceleration is about even. If you want a kart with fast speed, don't expect to get to that speed so quickly (typically, your acceleration will be low). Usually, you'll have to pick between one of the two. The Gold Glider made its first appearance in Mario Kart 7. Its stats are identical with the Super Glider, Wario Wing, Waddle Wing, Plane Glider, and Paper Glider. In both of the games, it offers no stats, meaning it gives no effect to the driver's performance. Some people like the karts with higher speed, some like higher acceleration. The Gold Glider is an unlockable glider in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Honestly, picking a combination for parts is like picking a fighter in Super Smash Bros.
