Luigi and Peach are other downplayed examples: both have a small speed bonus which is not as good as Daisy's, but they still have their fans due to the former's weight bonus and the latter's acceleration and drift bonuses.

This combo is the second most used online in the entire game.

For medium characters, Daisy is most commonly used due to her high speed stat and a small turbo bonus, and is most used with the Mach Bike which combines both.

Chances are, you will sometimes see Rosalina online.

Rosalina is a downplayed example: she has better handling and mini-turbo than Funky Kong, at the cost of slightly lower (but still good) speed.

There's a reason this game is nicknamed 'Funky Bike Wii' after all.

For heavyweights, Funky Kong on the Flame Runner has the best speed to acceleration ratio, and good Funky Kong players are able to lap the rest of the group if they know what they're doing.

Every character has invisible bonuses and some of them became favorites due to objectively better advantages:.

When the game was in its heyday, seeing a kart online was the Mario Kart equivalent of saying you saw bigfoot. Their ability to pop wheelies continuously negates the fact that they're supposed to be slower and their ability to make sharp turns means that handling is a Dump Stat for them.

Bikes, no matter which weight class, especially inward drifting ones, are flat out superior to karts in every single way.

This was the first game where Rosalina was playable and it wouldn't be a stretch to say her inclusion helped to boost her popularity.

While he's a Base-Breaking Character for others, Funky Kong is this for fans of Donkey Kong Country, as it was the first time he appeared in a Mario game.

Dry Bowser was made playable and his own character from Bowser for the first time in this game.

Needless to say, especially for a game that's basically thrived on its community alone, there's not a lot of middle ground.

They also claim CTGP has distorted perceptions with how the mod masks issues with the original, such as its perceived lackluster selection of tracks, a lame Battle Mode, and various gameplay issues it has (particularly with 'Ultra Shortcuts', which result in a glitchfest second only to Mario Kart 64). Its detractors, on the other hand, criticize it for many of the same reasons, particularly with the fact that each character and kart having unique stats allows only a handful of combinations to be viable, and the significant advantages bikes have over karts that, against its name, Mario Kart Wii ends up being more 'Mario Bike Wii', while they feel that the mechanical improvements that came with Wii were done better in future entries (such as with tricks, as starting with 7 they can be performed simply by pressing the hop button). The creation of the aformentioned mod is also cited as proof of the game's staying power and vibrant community, which fans of the other entries have attempted to mimic but cannot fully attest to.

The game is praised for its 'loose', sportlike gameplay, which can be accredited to the introduction of bikes, the unique stats of each character in its large and varied roster, and enhancements/mechanics such as the half pipe ramp (which did not return in the series until Tour), 12 player races, and tricks.

Contested Sequel: The game has had this reputation since it came out, due to lacking both the two driver system from Double Dash!!, the Mission Mode from DS, or the Battle Mode from either of them with this game's iteration of the mode often seen as lackluster, but it has intensified thanks to the divisive nature of its sequels and the creation of the 'Custom Track Grand Prix' mod, which adds 216 more tracks and several quality of life features to the game.
