Karts and Special Powers??

[NintendoNerds]

OK, I was just racing and I saw Toad who was using the 4-Wheel Cradle running over banana peels like it was cool...and completely unaffected by them. I couldn't believe it.

My question is do different Karts have their own advantages/ disadvantages besides their normal statistics like speed, acceleration, drifting, etc.?

If this is the case, I may find it very difficult to beat the 150cc class with the standard kart. I know I'll do it...it's just a matter of time but I was just wondering.

I just tested this out. I used Toad in the 4-Wheel Cradle kart, I ran over a few bananas, and I slipped each time. Are you sure the Toad you saw didn't have a star or something?

No, it was the CPU and it did not have any power-ups from what I could tell. I'll keep my eye out for this again though. I am almost positive this happened, but with the CPU racer. I swear...the CPU racers cheat!!
