Small is Under Construction

Small, also known as Light is one of the three primary weight-classes of older Mario Kart games. This category of racers/slash karts generally have very good Acceleration and Handling, but they suffer in being bumped around by heavier Karts and a low Speed.
In most Mario Kart titles, the weight classes were usually divided into three, but some games such as Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 7 have four or even five.

Trivia!
- In Mario Kart 64, the lightweight characters actually have better Speed then all other weight classes. however, they can be spun out by just by simply being hit by a heavyweight.
- In Super Mario Kart, Peach and Yoshi are at about lightweight, while Koopa Troopa and Toad are more properly placed in Featherweight class.
- Koopa Troopa and Toad's actual group name is "The Small Guys", but judging by Mario Kart 7, this is more of a misnomer.
- Peach and Yoshi, the original Small characters, remain in this weight class the most often throughout the series, although they occasionally get bumped to medium in games with large rosters.
