Mario Kart 7

^ It's not a glitch or an easter egg.
I think it is only a stat mechanic. Easter eggs are little secrets in a game but they don't contribute to the gameplay.
 
I don't understand why Nintendo is so reluctant into giving out maxed states. ::)

I guess when you look at past Mario Kart games, Mario Kart Wii is pretty much the only title that's actually true to its stats.
 
Good luck on obtaining 20,000 coins!

Or you can always do the VR method. I dunno
 
I recently did some more experimenting with off-road, and I have the following results...

It seems that you can hold your drift while off-road, IF your combo's off-road is 4.5 or better, but anything less will NOT work. Simply put, you can't hold your drift while off-road if the off-road stat reads 4.25 or less, which means that unless your combo involves the Monster tires or the Red Monster tires, don't bother going off-road without a star or mushroom boosts.
 
I've just released an app for iPhone/iPod touch and Android that you may like. It's my chance to give a little back to the community. Thanks to everybody involved in analysing the game.

It allows you to easily compare two combinations of characters, karts, wheels and gliders from Mario Kart 7. That way you can easily tweak your setup to find your winning combination.
