Donkey Kong and Wario has slower speed than Bowser and Luigi
Useful Characters for Shortcut
Toad = Yoshi = Peach > Bowser = Mario > Luigi > Wario = DK
The Lightweights are more useful on shortcuts, Bowser and Mario are mostly for occasions, and Luigi is more useful than DK and Wario. However, some karters achieve flap WRs SC (Wario Stadium mostly) using Bowser.
Donkey Kong, Wario, and Luigi are for challenges and battle mode tournaments only.
