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 is linearly interpolated between 5 data points (3 if drifting), with the current speed divided by the top speed as an input (called T below). The computed value is directly added to the current speed on each frame.
  • A#: The acceleration value of each data point. A4 (A2 if drifting) is always equals to A3 (A1 if drifting) and is not explicitly stored.
  • T#: The T value of each data point. T0 is always 0 and T4 (T2 if drifting) is always equals to T3 (T1 if drifting) and they are not explicitly stored.
• Handling: How tight the vehicles can normally turn (not drifting). Handling uses different values between Manual and Automatic drift modes.
  • Reactivity: How quickly the vehicle can change its turning direction. The current turn value is linearly interpolated between the current stick horizontal value and the previous turn value, using the reactivity stat as the interpolation parameter.
• 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 greater than 55% of its top speed.
  • Reactivity: How quickly the vehicle can change its turning direction while drifting. The current turn value is linearly interpolated between the current stick horizontal value and the previous turn value, using the reactivity stat as the interpolation parameter.
• 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 Rotation: How easily a vehicle can rotate 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.
