Quick notes

Kirby provides the widest equipment choice. Kirby can ride different machines and use temporary enemy powers.
Meta Knight races under his own power. His wings and sword replace ordinary machine selection and copied attacks.
Dedede brings a fixed vehicle. The king’s bike and hammer define his racing style.
Dyna Blade is an event target. Approach her head carefully for rewards.
