:Those are points (PT), each one takes to the next row of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in-game statistics#Weight (WG)|statistic translation table]], with big jumps in the actual in-game weight every 4 points.

==Code names== | |||
I have to agree with the IP that real names are far better in this situation over the code names. Code names are beneficial really only to data-miners and game modders, the latter which is already extensively documented to them to begin with. And the IP has a point too: if characters indeed use code names, the vehicle parts should too: Monster tires should say "TireB_Big, TireK_Big, and TireT_Big". If we should absolutely include code names, [[List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl music|do what this article does]], list them in a separate cell than the main one. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 14:54, 5 June 2018 (EDT) | |||

Code names
I have to agree with the IP that real names are far better in this situation over the code names. Code names are beneficial really only to data-miners and game modders, the latter which is already extensively documented to them to begin with. And the IP has a point too: if characters indeed use code names, the vehicle parts should too: Monster tires should say "TireB_Big, TireK_Big, and TireT_Big". If we should absolutely include code names, do what this article does, list them in a separate cell than the main one.
