Using the Pareto front method, the analysis narrowed down the options to just 14 efficient front candidates, ultimately recommending a popular build used by pro players: Peach, the Teddy Buggy, Roller tyres, and the Cloud Glider for optimized speed, acceleration, and mini turbo boost. However, personal playstyle preferences may still influence character choice, with smaller, speedier characters like Toad remaining a popular choice.
