If anyone exists here, why not do a category per ability type for racing each race, jump, break, sideways. Idk i just found this after having way to many hours in this game and it's just a thought. (I also suck at Spy missions so i dont know anything about those).

Also was thinking of speedrunning the different cups as a category.

Nevermind, Nigel is much slower than Lightning and Carla. Then followup question, do each character have a different speed, because i think finn has a different speed than Shu and Francesco. Also is Mater the slowest, at least by acceleration? Also is there no difference on dirt between those who have the ram ability and those who have jump? cause fandom says those with ram are faster in dirt and i think based on my 175 hours on 2ds + probably over 30 hours on regular ds in this game that there is no difference between jump and ram on dirt.

I don't think they have different speeds but they might have different acceleration rates. Also, driving on the dirt doesn't matter as it doesn't slow you down so you can just drive on the dirt as much as you want and I don't think abilities would affect that.
