Choosing the best character in Mario Kart World involves a lot of research, including plenty of trial-and-error sessions. It is pretty important if you want to increase your winning chances and collect plenty of rewards. The only metric that can be used to find the best character is their stats. Having knowledge about stats, a character’s speed, and driving capabilities can be utilized to claim the victory.
We know how difficult it is to compare the stats, especially when there are around 50 characters to choose from. With that in mind, we have handpicked the eight best characters in Mario Kart World, who you can choose to win effortlessly.
1. Pianta
- How to unlock: It can be unlocked by using the Kamek power-up item on the Koopa Troopa Beach.
Pianta is easily the best character on the entire Mario Kart World roster. This character has the highest handling while also retaining a higher speed and acceleration stat. With these stats, Pianta can help you get a great head start and maintain it until you reach the finish line. Handling is the main advantage you will be getting with this character. So you can use it on tracks with multiple twists and turns. Also, Pianta is usually a heavyweight, so you may have to pick a good Kart to fix this little problem.
2. Waluigi
- How to unlock: Unlocked by default.
You need to win as many races as possible in the initial period of the game. It will help you gain momentum and a much-needed head start in the game. This is the reason why we have picked Waluigi first. This character’s speed, handling, and acceleration easily outperform any other character. Basically, it goes well with any Kart, so you can use it to win most of the time.
Using a decent Kart is recommended because Waluigi has moderate weight. So having a Kart with good weight-carrying capacity, even with this flaw.
3. Wario
- How to unlock: Unlocked by default.
Similar to Waluigi, Wario can also be used to win matches. Both of them possess the same stat, making it easier for you to ride the Kart. Both characters are identical in terms of speed, acceleration, handling, and weight. The only choice to make is whether it’s Team Mario or Team Luigi.
4. Donkey Kong
- How to unlock: Complete the Mushroom Cup to get this character.
Donkey Kong is a heavyweight-class character, so it has a high weight stat. Despite this fact, this character has incredible speed, acceleration, and handling abilities, making it an easy pick for you. All of its stats are pretty similar to those of Waluigi and Wario. However, it is slightly behind them in terms of handling. With a decent Kart, this issue can easily be sidelined in Mario Kart World.
5. Daisy
- How to unlock: Complete the Flower Cup to get this character.
As a lightweight class character, Daisy has incredible acceleration, even better than the ones above her. That being said, you can easily pick up pace with this character, even if you had a slow start. The only thing holding back Daisy is her relatively lower speed.
She is a little slow in comparison with the above characters. Hence, you may have to use ramps frequently to stay ahead in the game.
6. Chargin’ Chuck
- How to unlock: It can be unlocked by using the Kamek power-up item on the Mario Bros. Circuit.
The Chargin’ Chuck is easily one of the best characters in Mario Kart World because of its near-perfect stats. Not only does it have higher speed, acceleration, and handling skills, but it also has a huge body. Most of you may think of it as a flaw, but it’s actually not. By using Chargin’ Chuck’s big body, you can collect items on the race track easily.
7. Bowser
- How to unlock: Unlocked by default.
Out of all the characters in this list, Bowser has one of the highest speed stats, making him a great choice for longer tracks. However, it shouldn’t be avoided that he lacks handling, so you will have to use your skills to make up for that. Apart from this, Bowser has good acceleration, so you can gain speed pretty soon in the match. Like most characters, this one is heavy, so you will have to handpick the best Kart for him.
8. Peach
- How to unlock: Unlocked by default.
Finally, we have added Peach to this list as she is one of the best characters in Mario Kart World. She may not have the highest speed compared to any other character in the list. However, she can outclass anyone in terms of handling and acceleration.
Peach can help you reach the finish line with a consistent speed, without many collisions.
Now that you know the best characters to use in this open-world Mario game, be sure to use them to win races and earn precious rewards.
