Mario Kart 8 in-game statistics
The following tables include all statistics for the both the drivers and vehicles part of Mario Kart 8 in the format used internally by the game, as well as the tables used to convert those statistics in in-game statistics. These data are the ones present in version 4.1 of the game.
Statistics in in-game format[edit]
Just like Mario Kart 7, the game stores statistics for drivers and parts in points.[1] In each statistics, the sum of the points for the driver, body, tires and glider is a number ranging from 1 to 20, called Level (Lv) in Mario Kart 7, that then determines the values of the related in-game statistics. To obtain the value shown in the bars of the menu, three points are added to the Level and the result is divided by four. The following statistics are used by the game:
- WG: Weight
- AC: Acceleration
- ON: On-Road traction
- OF: (Off-Road) Traction
- MT: Mini-Turbo
- SL: Ground Speed
- SW: Water Speed
- SA: Anti-Gravity Speed
- SG: Air Speed
- TL: Ground Handling
- TW: Water Handling
- TA: Anti-Gravity Handling
- TG: Air Handling

Statistics translation tables[edit]
The following tables are used by the game to convert the points of each statistics into actual in-game stats.[1]
Note: Since these statistics are directly derived from Mario Kart 7, the following tables borrow headers for the columns and rows from that game's statistics list, denoted in italics. In the case of statistics that are still directly derived from pre-existing Mario Kart 7 statistics, only the common part of the headers will be used, still denoted in italics.
Weight (WG)[edit]
There are three in-game statistics related to weight, that are known in Mario Kart 7 as KartBound_MassL, KartBound_MassH and KartBound_MassD. KartBound_MassL is used when the vehicle on a standstill is bumped by other vehicles using a boost given by a Dash Mushroom, KartBound_MassH is used when bumping other vehicles using a boost given by a Dash Mushroom,[2] while it is not known in which conditions KartBound_MassD is used.

Acceleration (AC)[edit]
Acceleration is determined by two factors, whose names in Mario Kart 7 are Drive_AccLmtFwd and Drive_SpdKfFwd. Drive_SpdKfFwd actually determines how fast the vehicles accelerates, while Drive_AccLmtFwd works as a limiter, fixing the maximum amount of speed increase per frame. While Drive_SpdKfFwd determines relative acceleration, i.e. how much the fraction of current speed to maximum speed increases over time, Drive_AccLmtFwd determines the maximum increase in absolute speed per frame, i.e. the maximum amount of distance units/frame that can be added to the current speed in each frame. Since the top speed is relatively low in all engine classes except for 200cc, Drive_AccLmtFwd is very frequently not a limiting factor, causing different acceleration values to have the same effective acceleration[3][4].

On-Road Traction (ON)[edit]
This statistic is unaffected by the Level. The related in-game statistics in Mario Kart 7 have SlipRt in their names. It controls how much the vehicle slips in normal (not off-road) sections of the tracks, but is set to the same value of 0.75 regardless of the level.
