===Acceleration (AC)===
===Acceleration (AC)===
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://mkboards.com/forums/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''.
