I was wondering if you did extensive test drives (e.g. ~200 times per distance) or you have some access to a Mario Kart API. | I was wondering if you did extensive test drives (e.g. ~200 times per distance) or you have some access to a Mario Kart API. | ||
:I did not calculate those probability values, those are the tables directly ripped from the game and thus used by it, the only part that was added are the titles of the tables, the column headers and the row headers of Battle Mode. The row headers of races are derived from the ''ITDS'' tables. The row headers of Battle Mode are derived from the PRIMA guide, they probably derive from the ''ITRT'' table, but I haven't been able to decipher it.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 09:43, 9 June 2017 (EDT) | :I did not calculate those probability values, those are the tables directly ripped from the game and thus used by it, the only part that was added are the titles of the tables, the column headers and the row headers of Battle Mode.
