Character Stats
Each character in the game has Statistics to which kind of event they would be good at and which event they would not be good at. The game features 4 types that a character can be and each type classifies where that character will excel in comparison to the other types. Each character still has other stats that come in effect and are not determined by their type. These statistics are more based off that characters natural abilities, a good comparison is with Sonic and Tails, even though Tails is a Skill type, he is still fast, just not as fast as Sonic (who is a Speed type).
