- Air: Any Coins
Handling Stats
These floating point sections store the handling strengths under different circumstances in the following order, according to the total points of the player configuration:
- Ground / Water / Anti-gravity: Steer, Drift, Charge

Points
The point sections store how many integral points a kart, part, or driver adds to the total points of different stats the complete configuration yields. The points can range between 0 to 20, and according to those, a different "row" index is read from the statistical tables the above sections form.
The different stats which are affected by points are stored in the following order:
- Weight
- Acceleration
