The character you select affects various aspects of your kart. From its top speed to the way it handles terrain, it all starts with the driver.

Not all characters are available when you start a new game, but as you progress through the Grand Prix cups, you’ll gain access to more of them.

If you spot a character you’re eager to try out, look for the conditions required to unlock them!

Many of the characters share similar statistics, but you’ll find enough variety to test every aspect of racing.

Remember that your kart assembly can enhance or offset any of the driver’s characteristics. If you have your heart set on a particular character, you can always build a kart around them!
