A data scientist has developed a tool to determine which Mario Kart 8 racer and build, out of every possible customization option, is statistically the best one for your playstyle.
As spotted by Eurogamer, Paris-based economist and data scientist Antoine Mayerowitz did the math and calculated that, once you've unlocked all drivers, race car bodies, tires, and gliders, there are a staggering 703,560 possible builds in Mario Kart 8. That said, when it comes to stats, many of those builds are identical to one another, and Mayerowitz says there are really only 25,704 statistically unique possibilities.
