What are the Hidden Stats?

The hidden stats are stats that are used by the game but not displayed anywhere on screen. In short, this means that parts and combinations which look the same on the in-game display may actually be quite different.

The hidden stats in Mario Kart 7 have been extensively researched and confirmed by fans and you can also find them represented in Prima's official strategy guide. You can see a similar range of stats in previous versions of Mario Kart.
