It does't necessarily matter which Mario Kart game, but which characters are your favorites to play as?
My favorite character is Toad, so I naturally play as him the most. He is probably the fastest racer, and my only real qualm is that he generally gets the worst items - Mushrooms and Green Shells. I feel that my tendancy to be cautious with handling corners helps balance things out a bit when I play as him, and I also like his small karts.
I also find myself playing as Bowser more recently. I feel that his absolute power and strength on the course makes playing as him a totally different experience than playing as Toad. For one thing, mowing down other players and having access to some of the strongest items on the course - 3 Red Shells, Bullet Bills, Blue Shells - makes him a force no matter how far behind he is in a race. His speed is horrible, and he accelerates slowly, but on levels with a lot of turns and rough terrain - especially with narrow, closed-in areas - he almost always reigns supreme.
And I often play as Mario, and sometimes Luigi, which are pretty different too. Mario isn't as fast as Toad or as strong as Bowser, but he gets decent items and can handle most situations. Luigi, on the other hand, accelerates pretty fast and handles turns well, despite not having a lot of strength or speed!
What about you?
