Is there really any difference between characters? How is Funky Kong better than Donkey Kong on Bowser Bike? Hidden stats:/?

Yes, they have stats. Best: Baby Daisy, Daisy, Funky Kong.
No they don't, do they? As far as I'm aware, the only difference between characters is weight. (not just classes. You can actually see it on kart stats. Compare the weight stat of Bowser on Wario Bike to Rosalina on Wario bike for example. Bowser is heavier)
How do people know? It isn't listed in the game...
Also, do you have a list like that for karts?
Also, if that is a real list, then Rosalina looks marginally better than Funky Kong to me.

Take the shortcut after the small ramp after the first big one. Use your mushroom there. I can't play now, I really want to beat those times. Omastar, 2:32 was the old WR ^^
Does anyone have a link to all kart and bike stats?
What's the point (and no)? You can't drive them if you don't have them anyways.
I've unlocked them all (I've unlocked everything now...), but I'm planning which karts/characters to use, and it's easier just looking at a type of something than laboriously switching between them on my Wii.
What? Are you that lazy? No. The best: bowser bike, mach bike, blue falcon, aero glider, torpedo and my personal favourite the magikruiser.
it's not a shortcut, it's slower than the usual shroom.
maybe it could be useful for wifi shrooms, but not tts. and it's definitely not the most awesome either.
Should have a vid soon. Getting an e-friend to record my ghost as I have nothing to record with. I'll probably edit the link into this post when I get the vid.
I use a shroom to boost over the grass where the goombas are if that helps.
Atm Im taking this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrYk3wAuQyE
Do you mean the one in the first bit of rapids, the bit of grass just after the tiny ramp going over a piece of road? Because yeah Ive seen the current WR (2:26) do that and I couldn't really replicate it well enough
Also yeah Omastar that was indeed the old WR, nice O.o Also thought I should mention I got 1:17:011 (or something very similar, it was soo close to 1:16 in Luigi Circuit, pleased to beat the expert staff time by three seconds :)
That's all opinion. Not statements. Show me the most awesome shortcut if you have a better one in MKW? Slower doesn't mean less awesome.
for time trials;
so far the torpedo with funky kong is used on luigi circuit, moo moo meadows, wario gold mine, moonview highway, rainbow road peach beech and yoshi falls.
the flame flyer (a kart), also with funky kong is used on AUTOMATIC settings on dk mountain so that you can do the shortcut faster
on shy guy beach and sherbet land you use the magikruiser. with shy guy beach use toadette because she has the best offroad stat (helps when going over the water, which is 90% of the time) and on sherbet land use baby daisy because she is tied for the highest speed stat with baby luigi, but she has the advantage in her MT stat.
daisy with mach bike is used on dkjp but i'm not sure why. Bowser bike with funky kong is used on all other courses.
This is only so far though. i think that when the game progresses the torpedo will gradually be used on more and more levels where the bowser bike is used now.
Why? The Bowser bike has better drifting (falling towards the corner) meaning it can use a wheelie longer. On some tracks the Torpedo just can't be used.
Yes.
</p>
What about the Wario Bike? I always found that to be one of the best. Although, I'd agree with Torpedo. That thing is awesome.</p>
... as the game progresses people will be able to drive better and use more difficult to use karts on tracks where they couldn't previously. this is what happened in MKDS with the bls. it doesn't matter that the bowser bike can hold a wheelie longer b/c you can restart wheelies instantly. the highest speed stat really holds the greatest importance, and it's the torpedo which has it.
The Wario Bike is too slow.
Too bad, because I'm not linking that thread.
Edit: CT, the bowser bike can wheelie longer meaning it's faster. And you need to make a really long drift to drift through a tight corner with the Torpedo meaning you can't wheelie and crash into a wall. The new drift is better.
So, what goes for online? I'm guess high acceleration, right?

Yes and no. Bowser bike can be very effective on courses like cocnut mall. You've got to make good use of your items. NEVER drop them. I use the Magikruiser for online and am on 8000 points atm. It's getting too easy and boring so I'm only playing against friends (like in friendcode).
i already told you why you are wrong about the two things you just said in my last post. let me adress them one by one. read very carefully so you don't miss anything!
1. "the bowser bike can wheelie longer meaning it's faster". No. That doesn't make it faster. the Torpedo's wheelie is FASTER, which makes it faster. the fact that you can restart a wheelie as soon as the last one is done, without ANY speed loss completely negates your argument. both can wheelie infinitely, and the torpedo is faster at it.
2. "blah blah blah blah when I drive the torpedo I crash into walls" as I said in my last post, when people play the game for longer than a month and get more acquainted with time trials, then their skill will be at a sufficient level where they can use the torpedo and maneuver it through turns where they would previously lose speed correctly and thus the speed loss would be negated.
this is just speculation but i'm fairly sure it's whats going to happen
I'm on 8105, using Wario Bike + Rosalina. I never drop items either. Still, blue shells piss me off.
1. The Bowser bike can simply make more wheelies (more 'till you need to drift) so it's faster.
