MiaWeight changes

The reason Mii says the weight changes is because your Mii character’s size determines their weight in Mario Kart.

What does Weight do in Mario Kart?

Weight in Mario Kart determines your acceleration and speed. The lighter your character is, the faster it will accelerate. But the heavier your character, the more speed he will have. So it’s not about what weight is best, but what weight is right for your playing style.

Another thing to remember is that the heavier your character, the harder it is to deal with. But then again, while this may seem like a bad deal, heavier characters can’t be edged out by lighter characters.

Therefore, you should experiment with different characters and cards in the game to see what weight suits you best overall.
