Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in-game statistics: Difference between revisions

This table is the same found in ''Mario Kart 8''. 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]],<ref>yamaninmk1, [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/188430490254966784/188439849320185858/weights.zip investigation on weight while being bumped by an opponent] using [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NGBZNU_4qg an experiment to compare weights].

While the in-game statistics are the same found in ''Mario Kart 8'', their values have been changed so that now acceleration always increase when increasing the Acceleration statistics. 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, 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.

This table is the same found in ''Mario Kart 8'' and, as a result, like in that game this statistics 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.

This table is the same one found in ''Mario Kart 8''. There are 2 in-game statistics related to Traction, named ''BrakeRt'' and ''SlipRt'' in ''Mario Kart 7'', that are applied to three types of off-road terrains (named ''DIRT'', ''SAND'' and ''ICE'' in ''Mario Kart 7''), each one of which has three degree (indicated with ''L'', ''M'', ''H'' in ''Mario Kart 7''). ''BrakeRt'' is the relative maximum speed while in off-road terrains, while ''SlipRt'' determines how much the vehicle slips in said terrains.

The in-game statistics are the same found in ''Mario Kart 8'', but their values have been changed. There are two in-game statistics related to speed, named ''SpdMaxFwd_L'' and ''SpdMaxFwd_H'' in ''Mario Kart 7'': the first is the maximum speed without coins, expressed in distance units/frame, the second is the maximum speed with 10 coins, expressed in distance units/frame. Air Speed has only one in-game statistics, called ''Wing_SpdMaxFwd_N'' in ''Mario Kart 7'' and expressed in distance untis/frame as well, suggesting that the maximum speed while gliding is unaffected by coins.<br />

This table is the same found in ''Mario Kart 8''. 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. Drifting and automatic drifting can begin only if the speed of the vehicle is greater than a specific percentage of its top speed, when such treshold is passed, the smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes suddenly disappear. Air handling has only two in-game statistics, named ''Wing_StickLR_Roll'' and ''Wing_StickLR_Move'' in ''Mario Kart 7'', that are respectively proprotional to how much the vehicle rolls (tilts sideways) and actually changes direction over time while steering during a glide.
