Tips & Warnings
Each character in “Mario Kart Wii” has his own unique stat bonuses. Dry Bowser’s stat bonuses are different from normal Bowser. Dry Bowser gains a bonus to mini-turbo usage and off-road performance. The mini-turbo bonus can help Dry Bowser overcome his low acceleration rate by boosting his speed more quickly than is normally possible.
Due to Dry Bowser being the skeleton of Bowser, he does weigh less than normal Bowser.
The 150cc class in “Mario Kart Wii” is roughly equal to being the "hard" difficulty level.
Every character is capable of unlocking Dry Bowser, but it may take some practice to become good enough with any individual racer to unlock him. It will be easier to select one character to use for every race than to switch between racers based on stats.
