    The better question is: Who's YOUR best character?

    It's really just how you play.

    In Time Trials and VS. Mode, I play as Toad. In Mario Grand Prix and some battles, I play as Luigi. And in most battles, I play as Bowser.

    So maybe the situation could have something to do with it, too.

    That's a matter of taste, really, since all the characters balance out in most ways. My favorite is Toad because of his good speed and control, just staying on the track is easier, and thus makes me faster. The track matters too. If it's an easy track, then a heavey cart with high top speed can work. But on a tough, twisty track, slow acceleration from the heavey carts makes them harder to get up to speed.

    I believe there are 3 styles of racing: Hopping (which is primarily limited to the bigger characters), power-slide boosting (mostly done by Mario and Luigi, because of their ability to do this the most efficiently), and standard (used by the smaller characters because they are more spastic in steering, making it difficult to hop or power-slide boost).

    I believe experts in any of the three strategies can compete with anyone. I myself play as Mario and utilize the power-slide boosting strategy, and I often play against hoppers and standard styles. I find that power-slide boosting as often as I can in a race gives me an overall higher average speed than anyone else, which basically means that the best power-slide booster is essentially the best player because they are the fastest. With that said, given the heavier and smaller characters' inability to effectively utilize the power-slide boost, Mario and Luigi are the best characters in the game.

    I'd have to say Mario because his acceleration, top speed, and weight all seem to be equal.

    My choice would have to be Wario. While his top speed isn't as fast as bowser's his acceleration isn't as slow. Plus, I can powerslide boost with wario just as good as I can with mario. His weight is a huge plus for me. I love it when I slam into smaller players and they stop dead. VERY handy.
