"Optimizing Mario Kart 8: Finding the Ultimate Racer Using Pareto Analysis"

Data scientist Antoine Mayerowitz applies the Pareto front, a principle from 19th-century economist Vilfredo Pareto, to determine the best character, vehicle, and wheels combinations in Mario Kart 8. By narrowing down the 703,560 possible decisions to 25,704, Mayerowitz plots the potential builds on a chart, revealing the most optimal choices based on speed and acceleration. The best build for prioritizing speed and acceleration is Peach on the Teddy Buggy with roller tires and the Cloud Glider.
