Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been a flagship game for the Nintendo Switch ever since the console first launched. No matter the time of year, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is almost always at the top of the charts in sales for the Nintendo Switch. Even more, people are getting into the game thanks to the various DLC waves that are coming out.

Something that players do not often expect is that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe can actually be pretty competitive. Players are often testing and debating to figure out what are the best Kart combinations for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Here, we will go over what the best Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Kart combo is for online play.

What Is The Best Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Kart Combo Right Now

Although it does not seem like it, there are a lot of different stats to keep track of in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With each new wave of the DLC, the best kart combination changes due to the various tweaks that each kart and weight class of character has. So the meta for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is always evolving, even a few weeks after the launch of the DLC. With that being said, here is the best Kart Combination in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:

  • Teddy Buggy
  • Roller Wheels
  • Paper Glider

At the time of this writing, these three body parts create the best kart combo in the game right now. Although it is not the fastest, the mini-turbo boosts that you get from this Kart combo are very quick and fast. Plus, this kart combination is very easy to handle. Those two facts combined make this kart combination the best.

What Character Should I Use For The Best Kart Combo?

Believe it or not, the character you pick actually matters a lot in Mario Kart 8. Every single character has a different weight class, and choosing the right weight class will push your kart to the limit. If you want to be the best at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this choice will matter a lot. Here are the best characters to choose for this specific kart combo:

  • Yoshi
  • Princess Peach
  • Princess Daisy
  • Birdo
  • Tanooki Mario
  • Villager (male)
  • Inkling Boy

We highly recommend using the medium-light weight class with the best kart combination. This weight class will give you the most mini-turbo boosts with the Teddy Buggy combo, and they are fast too. Any of the characters above will give you the same performance, but we slightly recommend the top four over the bottom four.
