 #03 - Character overview      \
________________________________\

There are 20 characters in total. Twelve of them drive a car, four ride a bike
and the remaining four are using a hovercraft. Since all characters have a set
vehicle, they will be classified here by the one they're driving.

Every all-star move provides invincibility for the duration and a speed boost,
even if not stated in the description. If the speed boost is mentioned, then
it is more significant than the basic speed boost.
