The following can be done by step by step, somewhat clumsy way, but I wonder if there are elegant method to do it.

There is a page: http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_Wii, where there are 2 tables... there is

Mario    -   6   2   2   3   -   -
Luigi    2   6   -   -   -   -   -
Diddy Kong   -   -   3   -   3   -   5
  [...]

The name "Mario", etc are the Mario Kart Wii character names. The numbers are for bonus points for:

Speed    Weight  Acceleration    Handling    Drift   Off-Road    Mini-Turbo

and then there is table 2

Standard Bike S 39  21  51  51  54  43  48  Out 
Bullet Bike 53  24  32  35  67  29  67  In  
Bubble Bike / Jet Bubble    48  27  40  40  45  35  37  In
  [...]

These are also the characteristics for the Bike or Kart.

I wonder what's the most elegant solution for finding all the maximum combinations of Speed, Weight, Acceleration, etc, and also for the minimum, either by directly using the HTML on that page or copy and pasting the numbers into a text file.

Actually, in that character table, Mario to Bower Jr are all medium characters, Baby Mario to Dry Bones are small characters, and the rest are all big characters, except the small, medium, or large Mii are just as what the name says. Small characters can only ride small bike or small kart, and so forth for medium and large.
