Proof of Bowser Jr's weight class

Since there's been a minor edit war on this Template over whether Bowser Jr is a Lightweight (like in Double Dash and Arcade GPDX) or a Middleweight (like in MK Wii), I think it's high time some sourced evidence was provided-

As you can clearly see, Bowser Jr's kart is the same size as Baby Luigi's (a Lightweight), while the Middleweight Luigi's is clearly larger. He is a Lightweight, end of story. --User:Burb 14:57, 11 February 2017 (EST)

Looks can be deceiving though. Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach are classified as medium body frame characters, and yet they're among the heaviest characters in Mario Kart 8. While it's likely that Bowser Jr. will be in the lightweight category, we have yet to figure out if he has a unique stat spread or not. M&SG (talk) 18:42, 11 February 2017 (EST)

To be fair, the template as a whole is deceiving right now. Cat Peach and Female Villager are between Larryweights and Yoshiweights, yet she's classified as Middleweight, based on body frame size. I think we should use body frame sizes for the template.--Mister Wu (talk) 21:11, 11 February 2017 (EST)
