Larry is one of the heavier lightweights in the game. As such, his acceleration, handling, and grip stats are lowered a little to boost his speed and weight (he shares this trait with [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Toadette]], [[Lakitu]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], and [[Isabelle]]). The CPU-controlled Larry can be seen using the Standard bodies, [[Standard Kart]] with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires, [[Standard Bike]] with [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires, the [[Standard ATV]] with [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires, the [[Pipe Frame]] with Standard tires or the [[Landship]] with [[Wood]] tires. | Larry is one of the heavier lightweights in the game.
