Mario Kart 8 in-game statistics: Difference between revisions

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. It is important to note that in all engine classes, except for 200cc, ''Drive_AccLmtFwd'' is not used correctly, causing different acceleration values to have the same effective acceleration<ref name="accel1">Mister Wu(May 1, 2015).[http://www.forums.mkboards.com/threads/a-qualitative-comparison-of-acceleration-tiering-in-150cc-and-200cc-engine-class.15195/ A qualitative comparison of acceleration tiering in 150cc and 200cc engine class.] ''MKBoards''.

There are three in-game statistics related to handling, known as ''Drive_DirRotH'', ''Drift_DirRotH'' and ''AutoDrift_ChargeRt'' in ''Mario Kart 7''. The first is proprotional to the angular velocity while steering and to the angular velocity during the automatic drift, the second determines how much the drift can be widened or made sharper, while the third is how fast is the automatic drift charged while steering in a direction. When at full charge, the automatic drift begins. Air handling has only two in-game statistics, named ''Wing_StickLR_Roll'' and ''Wing_StickLR_Move'' in ''Mario Kart 7'', that should be respectively proprotional to how much the kart rolls (tilts sideways) and actually changes direction over time while steering during a glide.
