Quick notes
- Win the named 150cc cup. Most extra drivers unlock from a first-place cup result in 150cc.
- Compare starting drivers before grinding unlocks. The original eight already cover several weight profiles.
- Treat the Mii separately. The Mii is tied to completing all cups in an engine class rather than to one named 150cc cup.
- Choose by handling preference. Driver weight interacts with the selected body, tires and glider.

The Mii is tied to completing all cups in an engine class rather than to one named 150cc cup. Keep this goal separate in your checklist.
