How to Choose Your Main

  1. Use Riders With Specials that Fit Your Playstyle
  2. Choose Based On Your Preference

Use Riders With Specials That Fit Your Playstyle

What are Special Abilities

Aside from their appearance, the main appeal of each character comes from their unique special abilities. Each character has its own unique way of gaining an advantage over its opponents, and choosing one that ultimately fits your playstyle will determine how much you'll enjoy the character.

For example, if you have an aggressive playstyle, you can use Daroach and Marx as both have skills that can disturb other opponents, while Cappy and Starman let you zoom across race tracks with their specials that increase speed.

Best Combo Setup for Rider and Machine

Choose Based On Your Preference

Whether you like the character's design or the specials they have will ultimately still depend on your preference. Always follow your gut and choose the character that looks most appealing to you or one that complements your playstyle.
