Best Kart
King Boo’s best Kart is the Blastronaut III, due to its really even stat spread when using the ghostly character.
Featuring an equal distribution of Speed, Acceleration, and Weight at 2.2 each out of a maximum of 4, it’s a great choice for loads of different tracks. Its only let down is in its Handling stat of 1.4, but if you’re using Smart Steering, this is much less of a reason to steer clear of using it.

All Karts & stats for King Boo
Each character can use all of the vehicles in Mario Kart World, meaning there are 40 to choose from (assuming you’ve unlocked them all) when playing as King Boo. The differences between using one kart and character combo over the other falls to stat distribution, as these adjust based on a character’s weight class.
