Statistics

The Hurricane has the highest top speed in the game, matched only by R.O.B.'s ROB-BLS, as well as a high drift stat, but these traits are balanced out by its low acceleration and handling. While the Hurricane is a relatively popular choice in casual play, it rarely sees use after players master Mini-Turbos. This kart's weak Mini-Turbos, low handling, and high drift make it ill-equipped for even boosting fully around corners, much less fully snaking. Other karts, including the aforementioned ROB-BLS, can more easily maintain boost speed, which nullifies the only advantage of the Hurricane.

Its drift is tied with Toad's Mushmellow, and its weight is also equivalent to Waluigi's Gold Mantis.
