Mario Meets Pareto

The article applies Pareto efficiency to Mario Kart 8, explaining how choosing a driver, body, tires, and glider yields many builds with stats such as speed, acceleration, handling, weight, and mini turbo. It defines the Pareto front as the set of non-dominated options and notes that final choice depends on how a player weighs these stats, with examples involving Koopa, Cat Peach, and Toadette. It also states that if stat weights are known, optimization becomes a single objective, while unknown weights require evaluating Pareto-efficient options to pick the best fit.
