KartParam.bin

kartParam.bin is a sub file of /Race/Common.szs. It contains a list of vehicle statistics. It is also found into the parameter folder from Award.szs, Event.szs, Globe.szs, MenuMulti.szs, MenuOther.szs, MenuSingle.szs and Present.szs from the /Scene/UI folder.

Vehicle Statistics

• Weight: How heavy a vehicle is.
• Speed: How high the top speed of the vehicle is.
  • in Turn: How high the stop speed of the vehicle is in a turn (not drifting).
• Acceleration: How quickly the vehicle's top speed is achieved from a non-moving position. Acceleration progresses between 4 stages using some unknown calculation to reach top speed. Acceleration uses different values between not drifting and drifting.
  • Stage (S#): How fast a stage can progress. A larger value means faster progression.
  • Exponential (E): How quickly speed starts up and how slowly it takes to reach top speed. A larger value means more extremes of both. See the logistic function.
    E also determines the spacing of stages.
• Handling: How tight the vehicles can normally turn (not drifting). Handling uses different values between Manual and Automatic drift modes.
  • Range: How far the vehicle can swing left or right.
• Drift: How tight the vehicle turns while using the drifting maneuver. Drift uses different values between Manual and Automatic drift modes.
  A drift can be started when a vehicle's speed is at least 55% of its top speed.
  • Range: How far the vehicle can swing left or right.
• Mini-Turbo: When using the manual drift option, how long a mini-boost will last.
• Traction: How strong frictional forces are between the vehicle's tires and the road such as rolling resistance.
• Off-Road Speed: How much speed the vehicle retains when off of the track. Each value corresponds to a KCL flag.
• Off-Road Handling: How much handling the vehicle retains when off of the track. Each value corresponds to a KCL flag.
• Tilt: How strongly the vehicle can tilt on its side. Only applicable to karts.
