I guess that the item distribution might also take a small roll in this. I've always been a fan of acceleration types in Mario Kart Wii because that game could be a goddamn massacre when it came to random shit flying around, but in Mario Kart 8 I much preferred speedy characters.
Oh well, I'm sure people will figure it out a few days into the game, as usual.

The game's about maintaining your speed so in like, half the tracks speed chars' awful handling really hold them back. Accel and all arounders end up better in those tracks, with slow chars having a niche in tracks with super turbo pads.
Penta had max stats in EU/Japan, so he was pretty much god. Was handling in NA tho.
What version? In the PAL and NTSC-J versions, Penta had maxed stats in every category, and so was kinda broooken. Normally max speed characters have very poor handling and only so-so acceleration. It can be hard to recover from a wipeout or a storm of items smashing you relentlessly as you feebly wobble off a jump, afflicted by an accursed clock. Acceleration characters can get back to speed faster, handling characters can avoid obstacles and sharp turns more easily, and the balanced folks in between all of that.
My girlfriend wants this game, but it doesn't release in Japan until August, so I'll grab the US version on Switch. I hope it's not downgraded at al!
if you were playing the NA version then Penta had maxed stats in that version so it wasn't just max speed that made him good
Ugh I really hope the Switch version is good enough, going to play that until they eventually release this on PC :x
Game isn't released yet, hoping the sales numbers will make Nintendo sweat bullets.
Actually, NA was the version where Penta was just a handling character like Polar or Pura.
Penta was a cheat character that had all his stats maxed, he won't have that in this remake.
And certain characters are simply better on some tracks compared to others. There are definitely some tracks where speed characters suffer a lot because of the turns, one of the reasons why you see acceleration characters more often in adventure mode speedruns.
Did we get a confirmation if they kept the Penguin Yay 1 and Penguin Yay 2 that we had in the US version?
Not for the in-game driving lines, but you get to hear Penta squawk out a "penguin yay 1" when you use the code to unlock him.
Oh haha, I never realized that about Penta Penguin. But I had the NA version, so it sounds like he was no better than the characters with excellent handling? I probably just read in a guide that he had max speed and took it as gospel.
This game is looking AMAZING.
Does anyone know if it'll have customizable cups? Like instead of the four cups with the same four tracks, you can decide which four tracks you'll race on?

Is anybody here at E3? or able to ask the reps?
I just would like to see this question asked to them:
"Is there any purchases required to earn the seasonal content immediately? (which means purchasing it to avoid grinding or going through challenges to earn them)"

New footage of the game with Conan O'Brien and Billy Eichner in Clueless Gamer

This interview from Gamereactor is neat, haven't had a deep look at it but from what I know, at the 5 minutes mark, they say that the game will feature a matchmaking system for online multiplayer
The Nitro Squad all have great voices (well, everyone save for Megumi who we havent heard yet, I think), I love them
"Wait for me! I'm gay!" needs to become a slogan somewhere lol.
Also Crash Conan, I never thought that'd happen.
You probably sussed this out from the replies, but that's Liz, not Megumi :V
Oh, it's been happening.
Yeah, sorry about that, I read Megumi in the youtube comment and used that.
It's interesting that only Fake Velo is left as the only unconfirmed character that was previously playable. I can only assume they're planning on a CNK themed season later down the line post-Spyro season, probably with CNK adventure inspired challenges and a unlockable Fake Velo and the iconic hoverbike looking boss kart they used in CNK. Can't imagine what kind of track that would come with though since we already got all of CNK's tracks, perhaps a new track that invokes the hub areas from CNK?
Gotta say that the fact that the Back N. Time Grand Prix is including baby versions of Crash and Coco but not the iconic baby versions of Cortex and N. Trophy is kinda upsetting me. Just look at them.

So wait a minute...
If the first DLC is Tawna and the Nitro Squad, and the second is Baby T, Crash and Coco, then do you think it's possible we're getting Spyro along with a few of his friends?
Hunter, Elora and Ripto hype

There is a switch trailer on the Nintendo youtube channel.
Not direct footage but it does show how the switch version would look.
I couldn't care less about Hunter, gimme Elora, Moneybags and Ripto
What stage would you like to see for Spyro? Personally I think Glimmer is probably the best option, it's the first stage of Spyro 2 so it should be fairly familar to all. It's got a Gem-Stone which are key symbols of Spyro, There's underground sections, but also green overground areas as well so it won't be too close to Dragon Mines, you can incorporate the Super Fly power up gate to work in a flying section (Probably on a sky road of some kind, show off that Vista) and you can get numerous other characters from Avalar to cameo (And you can probably cheat and throw in the Year of the Dragon companions as well, assuming they aren't going to be extra characters).
Artisans is the other likely option to draw reference from for a track. What do you want to see?

A world Jump Level would be cool. start in glimmer, drive through a portal, be in artisans, drive through a portal, be in a yotd level...and so on. Pretty ambitious as far as wishes go but I think it would fit spyro well.
I hope the CTTR tracks are completely redesigned and only share the themes. But hey, Nina confirmed!
