The stats were taken at the Garage, unaffected by any Rider's stats. But, the numerical values are estimates as they are not shown in-game!
Meta Knight on Winged Star is nigh unbeatable in midair, taking advantage of its impressive flight speed to get ahead of opponents via ramps in Air Ride or remaining airborne in flight events in City Trial. Meta Knight's special can further prolong airtime, allowing players to pass opponents overhead or reach the floating islands in Skyah.
Here are all the other machines you can use to swap out Winged Star for.
