Gaming Mario Kart 7 - Custom Kart Setup

[theCanAsian_]

Hey guys title says it all, let's hear your guys' favourite customized kart setups!
Feel free to comment and leave helpful suggestions for others!

I'll start things off with my go to class.

Character: Toad
Body: Plane
Wheels: Slim
Glider: Paraglider
- Love the plane body type but still unsure about the wheels. Any suggestions are welcome!

I'm still hoping I unlock something better ; but..

Character: Rosalina
Body: "Blue Seven" (against the better players ; ) or "Bumble V" (When I don't feel like playing well~)
Wheels: "Normal"
Glider: "Peach Parasol" or "Flower Glider" depending on the body.

Character: Toad/Mii
Body: B Dasher/ Bruiser
Wheels: Roller/Monster
Glider: Normal (can't think of name right now)

 

[Terenigma]

Character: Toad
Body: Growlster
Wheels: Wooden
Glider: Swoop

Pros:
- Good starting acceleration when hit by item
- Handling is perfect for generating large drifts
- Glides further due to light weight

Cons:
- Average top speed
- Light weight makes item hits hurt and bumps off track easy

Still unlocking things but currently:

Character: Luigi
Kart: Zucchini
Wheels: Wood
Glider: Swooper

Everything is above average except for weight.

Mmm... I'm still unlocking things but I mainly use the normal with the big wheels... ,cause you can actually snake in the game. XD

Charecter: Luigi ( His trick animations crack me up)

Body: Egg 1

Wheels: Mushroom

Glider: Paraglider

This is only temporary until I find one I like better.

 

[MarioFanatic64]

My kart:

Character: Mii
Kart Body: Gherkin
Kart Wheels: Gold Wheels
Glider: Swoop

Good for Time Trials (if you can handle it good).

So I've switched it up a bit:
Body: Egg
Tires: Slim
Glider: Paraglider

**I changed up the Plane for the Egg because I felt like whenever I went off road even for a cm it would take me quadruple that time to get back on the track. With the Egg it allows me a little more Off-Road while maintaining speed.
Still using slim tires until I unlock better ones


Question for @mariofanatic64: How'd you unlock the gold wheels?
And this is really for anyone to answer (sorry for being off topic), but I have completed all single player 150CC tracks with a gold trophy, including the mirror tracks. Now I was told that all I needed to do to get a star by my name is to complete all tracks of a certain class (in this case I chose 150CC) with a gold trophy, which I've done. I'm assuming however, that I also need to achieve a 3-Star rating for each track as well? If anyone that's achieved the gold stars could let me know exactly how to get a star, that would be great! Oh and also what's the max amount of stars you can have by your name? The most I've seen on someone in multiplayer is three.

 

[MarioFanatic64]

You unlock the gold tires by winning every cup on every CC. And the max stars you can have by your name is 3 (as far as i know, i only have 2)

Ah I see, well damn that's a lot of freakin' work! Could you tell me how the tires compare to the slim/wooden tires? These are the ones I'm currently using but if the Gold tires are significantly better I would definitely put the time in.

My setup:
Yoshi
Kart: Egg 1
Wheels: Wood
Glider: Anything but the standard one

From the top of my head, they drastically increase the Speed and Weight of the car. But the Handling, Acceleration, and Off-Road drop considerably. But it's fast, and if you are good at controlling it, you shouldn't have any problems with it.

 

[theCanAsian_]

Hmm I'll probably try and get em' anyways to try them out! The low handling and off-road I can handle, but accelerations pretty big as I tend to drift a lot. Anyways, thanks @mariofanatic64 for the feedback!
