The ability to spec your Kart however you want in Mario Kart 8 is a lot of fun, but Nintendo doesn’t provide you with all of the stats you need to really appreciate the difference between the individual racers. There’s not been a convenient way to do a side-by-side compare while you are sitting holding a gamepad ready to race, at least not until now. The MK8 Builder app for Android fixed this little oversight, and in the process gives you a great tool for optimizing your racer and comparing your abilities to others.
Mario Kart has always been the kind of game that lends itself well to both obsessive players and casual racers. The game is just as much a game of chance as it is a game of skill, but there are a handful of ways in which an excess of skill can give you a huge advantage. The best thing you can do is set your Kart up to be able to overcome setbacks quickly, as well as have your favorite Kart setups burned into muscle memory so you can quickly catch up if you get knocked down. If you’re the type to seek out every possible advantage, the MK8 Builder app is something you will need in your arsenal.
Apart from offering a decent breakdown of all the necessary stats, the app lets you compare saved Karts side-by-side so you can see which one is really the best Kart for you. There’s also a map breakdown with Staff Ghost Lap times listed, so you’ve got something to aspire to if you have run out of friends to completely destroy in this game.
The app is free, but ad supported, and available in the Google Play Store now.
