There are 23 Karts in Mario Kart 8 and 8 Deluxe, outnumbering bikes by 12. The majority are new, but karts such as the standard kart are returning from past games. The karts have varied stats, including those based on speed, acceleration, traction, and weight. These all determine how the kart moves around the track. Unlike bikes, karts have no inside or outside drifting. If you don't know the difference, inside drifting is a sharper turn, while outside drifting is not as sharp. Learn more about drifting here
