When you break down the build options (including driver stats and various vehicle details) in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em><\/a>, there are over 700,000 possible combinations. Yikes. But once you eliminate duplicates that differ only in appearance, you can narrow it down to \u201conly\u201d 25,704 possibilities. How do you narrow it down to find the best racer from there? Enter Mr. Pareto.<\/p>\n

Pareto\u2019s theories, most notably the Pareto front<\/a>, help us navigate the complexities of choice. They can pinpoint the solutions with the most balanced strengths and the fewest trade-offs. Pareto\u2019s work is about efficiency and effectiveness. Now we\u2019re talking.<\/p>\n

When choosing a Mario Kart racer, you have to consider their stats for speed, acceleration, handling, weight, offroad and mini turbo. That\u2019s a lot to weigh.<\/p>\n

Even if you decide that speed and acceleration are the most important, you\u2019re still left with imbalances. For example, it\u2019s tempting to go all in on speed (like Bowser or Wario), but they have weak acceleration. However, if you prioritize acceleration instead (such as Baby Mario or Dry Bones), you may be left with quick surges that plateau at a lousy top speed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some racers are always dominated in the most important stats \u2014 meaning their balance of speed and acceleration consistently comes out behind. Koopa is one example of that, so don\u2019t pick him if you care about winning. (But you can absolutely choose him because he has cute bug eyes and a snazzy shell.)<\/p>\n

Mayerowitz\u2019s Pareto front analysis lets you narrow your possibilities down to the 14 most efficient. And it turns out the game\u2019s top players were onto something: One of the combinations with the most ideal balance of speed, acceleration and mini-turbo is Cat Peach driving the Teddy Buggy, roller tires and cloud glider<\/strong> \u2014 one already favored among Mario Kart 8<\/em> competitors.<\/p>\n

Of course, if that combination isn\u2019t your cup of tea, there are others that allow you to stay within the Pareto front\u2019s optimal range. As Eurogamer<\/em> points out<\/a>, Donkey Kong, Wario (my old standby, mostly because he makes me laugh) and Princess Peach are often highlighted as drivers, and you can use Mayerowitz\u2019s data fields to find the best matching vehicles. Keep in mind that others have identical stats, so racers like Villager (female), Inkling Girl and Diddy Kong are separated only by appearances.<\/p>\n

To find your ideal racer, you can head over to Mayerowitz\u2019s website<\/a>. There, you can enter your most prized stats and view the combos that give you the best balance (those highlighted in yellow), according to Pareto\u2019s theories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
