===Acceleration (AC)===
===Acceleration (AC)===
Acceleration is determined by two factors, whose names in ''Mario Kart 7'' are ''Drive_AccLmtFwd'' and ''Drive_SpdKfFwd''. ''Drive_SpdKfFwd'' actually determines how fast the vehicles accelerates, while ''Drive_AccLmtFwd'' works as a limiter, fixing the maximum amount of speed increase per frame. While ''Drive_SpdKfFwd'' determines relative acceleration, i.e. how much the fraction of current speed to maximum speed increases over time, ''Drive_AccLmtFwd'' determines the maximum increase in absolute speed per frame, i.e. the maximum amount of distance units/frame that can be added to the current speed in each frame. Since the top speed is relatively low in all engine classes except for 200cc, ''Drive_AccLmtFwd'' is very frequently not a limiting factor, causing different acceleration values to have the same effective acceleration<ref name="accel1">Mister Wu(May 1, 2015).[https://web.archive.org/web/20181021020608/https://forums.mkboards.com/threads/a-qualitative-comparison-of-acceleration-tiering-in-150cc-and-200cc-engine-class.15195/ A qualitative comparison of acceleration tiering in 150cc and 200cc engine class.] ''MKBoards''.
