________________________________\
Speed - Top speed of the vehicle, higher number means higher top speed.
Acceleration - Higher number means it takes less time to reach the top speed.
Handling - Vehicles with higher handling are easier to control.
Dash - Dash affects speed from the speed boosts (including drifting).
Weight - Heavier vehicles grips to the road better.

#03 - Character overview \
________________________________\
There are 20 characters in total. Twelve of them drive a car, four ride a bike
and the remaining four are using a hovercraft. Since all characters have a set
vehicle, they will be classified here by the one they're driving.
Every all-star move provides invincibility for the duration and a speed boost,
even if not stated in the description. If the speed boost is mentioned, then
it is more significant than the basic speed boost.
